How to steep green tea properly
Just a difference of 15 seconds, or a temperature variance of as little as 2 degrees can make the difference between an exquisite cup of tea and an awfully bitter tea experience.
Read MoreThis is a delicious green Darjeeling from Selim Hill Estate and it is an easy-drinker. It is for the green tea enthusiast who appreciates green teas but prefers simplicity and lack of astringency. It does not have the ‘biting’ green taste that many green teas have. It has a complexity and depth of flavor. The flavor is filled with nuance – it has a lush softness and a buttery body that speaks to Darjeeling enthusiasts. It has many of the same qualities as the black teas of this region, but with an unoxidized leaf.
The fine aroma is fresh, crisp and herbaceous, and suggestive of sage, thyme, and other green herbs. The liquor is light amber in color that perfectly suits the flavor that this tea carries.
Selim Hill Tea Estate is one of India's oldest organic farms, located in Kurseong area and in Darjeeling district. The location of the estate is considered mid-level, and the gardens are perched on a hilly slope with varying elevations that rise up to some 3,500 feet and faces the mountain on its north. There are over 200 workers employed in the garden. Selim Hill was established in 1870.
