Mim Darjeeling Black Tea Grade TGFOP1(Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe One) Good body with a classical muscatel (sweet grapes) character. This quality is only available during June when the 2nd flush growing season is at it's peak. Mim
is in the Darjeeling area of Northern India. From the town center on a
clear day the peak of Mount Everest can be seen. The genus of the
Darjeeling
tea bush is the Chinese Jat which gives it the distinctive muscatel
character. Because the tea is grown at such high altitudes and in
relatively cool weather the bushes do not grow quickly, and as such the
production is limited. The best time of the year for quality is during
second-flush (end May - end June). During this time, Darjeeling
teas are incomparable to any other tea in the world. The fragrance and
taste is a complex bouquet that reaches right out of the cup. Some would
describe the taste as nutty; others find it reminds them of black
currants, but most often it is described as similar to the taste and
fragrance of muscat grapes. Due
to the superb taste and limited production of Darjeeling, these teas
are quite expensive. There are many who wish to take advantage of the
high prices and as a result there are Darjeeling blends. Regrettably
these blends are quite often very poor facsimiles of Darjeeling and in
some cases only contain 10% true Darjeeling teas; the balance made up
from other production areas. A true estate Darjeeling is your guarantee
of quality and genuine Darjeeling tea. |
