Darjeeling Samabeong Burgundy

An organic Darjeeling Second Flush from Samabeong, one of Darjeeling's highest altitude tea estates, with plantations at over 2000 metres above sea level. The farm is secluded in the north-eastern part of Darjeeling, in the Kalimpong district, and benefits from the area's mild and humid microclimate. Darjeelings are famous for their complex aromas and nuanced flavours. Samabeong Estate was founded in the Kalimpong region in 1882 and has been growing organic tea for many years. The light copper-coloured infusion has a rich, clear and slightly fruity taste with notes of hazelnuts, caramel bread crust and black currants.

D arjeeling Samabeong Burgundy lends itself well to multiple infusions. The second infusion is best kept short, as the leaves have already started to open and release their flavours. Subsequent infusions, on the other hand, should be left to rest a little longer, so that the flavours deepen and the nuances emerge. For many teas, two or three infusions with the above parameters are enough, but some keep on giving, cup after cup.
