Elegant Flavour from the “Champagne of Teas”. Premium Darjeeling tea is celebrated worldwide for its refined, muscatel flavour and delicate aroma. Grown high in the Himalayan foothills, this exceptional tea offers a light golden liquor with floral notes, subtle fruitiness, and a lingering finish. Every sip is smooth, crisp, and layered with complexity, making it a true connoisseur’s choice. Whether enjoyed in the morning light or as an afternoon indulgence, Darjeeling tea delivers elegance in every cup.
Mim is in the Darjeeling area of Northern India. From the town centre 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 Darjeelings 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. The tea is hand picked.
Health benefits: Darjeeling tea grown at high altitudes in the Himalayan foothills has many health benefits due to the climate and soil conditions. The cloud cover and less intense sunlight at high altitudes can increase the concentration of L-theanine in the tea leaves. The tea is full of antioxidants (Ultra High Levels) and contains natural thermogenic properties, which can help boost metabolism and support weight management.
Good body with a classic muscatel character. This quality is only available in June when the 2nd flush growing season is at its peak. A cup full of goodness and antioxidants.
