Darjeeling Masala Tea

DRY LEAF
A festivity of dark brown tea leaves with CTC and a riot of spices thriving in a commotion of sweet and spicy notes of cardamom and honey with upheavals of warm woody cinnamon and a gentle pepper.

INFUSION
Spices enveloped in a wet brown sheen, with pistachio cardamom husks visible amongst unfurled shiny brown Darjeeling tea leaves rendered fresh by a woody earthiness of wet cassia bark and piquant by spicy-sweet cardamom.

LIQUOR
Fiery amber strong-bodied tea with sweet cinnamon and spicy kicks of ginger explodes into a heady effervescence of spices. While cinnamon and clove tingle the tip of the tongue with sweetness, cardamom and ginger interplay a game of hot and cool, and pepper adds a dimension of freshness to the palette. Although full bodied, the headiness of CTC is countered by the subtle astringency of Darjeeling tea lending a perfectly balanced and rounded finish.

Take 1 cup of water (280 ml).
Heat it to 90-95°C.
Put 1 teaspoon (2.5g) of tea leaves in the water.
