A refreshing taste with a hint of citrus. Spring-picked black tea from the former kingdom of Sikkim

Further back in Darjeeling, at the foot of the Himalayas adjacent to Bhutan, there is the only government-run tea plantation in Sikkim, India, "Temi Tea Plantation". The black tea liquid produced by the slurry and finely twisted tea leaves is a beautiful lemon color. You can enjoy a refreshing taste like citrus and a sense of transparency when drinking. As the extraction time increases, the light blue turns to sepia, and it has a sweet scent and a calm taste for spring picking. Among tea lovers, it is a brand of tea gardens that are loved by those in the know.

Spring-picked tea has arrived from Sikkim's only tea factory, Temi Tea Garden. 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 Garden'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 Kanchenjunga, people still live under the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism.

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