Darjeeling Makaibari

Desiring a light hearted black tea with complex flavors? Then you are in the right place. This tea is smooth but contains a slight hint of tannin with a hint of muskiness. It is perfect as an afternoon tea. It technically is an oolong rather than black since the oxidation is less than 90%. It is grown in the mountains of West Bengal, a province of India, and uses tea plants which originated in China. The estate on which it is grown is Makaibari.
