164 Makaibari 1st Flush Silver Tips Organic

From the biodynamic Makaibari Estate - a truly grand Darjeeling with a unique spirit that just might spoil you forever! After being sold out of this remarkable tea for quite some time, we are thrilled to be able to offer it once again. A sibling of No. 161 Silver Tip 2nd Flush, the leaf appearance is slightly greener and the cup color lighter (as is typical of the differences between the two flushes). The wonderfully sweet, floral aroma is even more intense and translates into a complex floral flavor with bright fruity notes.

Recommendations: Use 1½ tsp. per 6oz. cup; heat fresh water until steaming briskly (195ºF); let steep for 2½ min. Try a second infusion.

Ingredients: Black tea

Health Benefits: Black tea is a powerful source of anti-oxidants that can slow down the aging process and help prevent a wide variety of diseases. Medical research suggests that black tea can assist in lowering cholesterol and regulating blood sugar. Much lower in caffeine than coffee, black tea gently stimulates the heart and circulatory system. By keeping blood vessels soft and lowering blood pressure, black tea can help prevent heart disease and strokes.
