Spring-picked tea has arrived from Sikkim's only tea factory, Temi Tea Estate. The lot number SK-4 introduced this time is the first flush, but the green tea leaves are not seen in the slurry and finely twisted leaves, and the core bud is a slightly yellowish ivory color. The extracted tea liquid is also a bright sepia color, not much like a first flush. As for the taste, it has a lively and fresh personality, but it also has a thickness and texture reminiscent of a second flush. It's a lot. Not all of Temi Tea Estate's spring pickings have this kind of personality, and there were many samples of lots with green color and fragrance of tea leaves, but we purchased this lot with a relaxing taste. . Whether you are trying Sikkim tea for the first time or have already tried it, this spring cup is a must-try.

About the former kingdom of Sikkim

Sikkim was an independent kingdom until 1975. It is the second smallest state in India, bordered by Darjeeling, Nepal and Bhutan. At the foot of the famous Himalayan peak Kangchenjunga, people still live under the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism.

This former kingdom is home to the region's only small government-run tea estate, Temi Tea Estate, where small but high-quality black tea is produced. It is a popular tea estate known to tea lovers around the world as a phantom black tea.
