Product Description
-------------------
Ahmad Tea’s Darjeeling is a distinguished brew for discerning
tea lovers. Delicate yet complex, floral yet fruity, it takes
your taste buds on a journey of discovery.Nestled in India’s
Mahabharata ain Range (aka the ‘lesser Himalayas’),
Darjeeling is a very special tea region. At an altitude of around
2000 metres, the hilly tea gardens here only produce teas in
certain seasons. Each season gives its own character to the
teas.Our Tea Masters use first flush teas from the spring
harvest. This is when the young leaves offer their freshest and
most floral character. They blend these with teas from the summer
harvest. By this point the leaves are more mature, giving the
brew its richer, fruitier notes, which are often said to resemble
Muscat grapes.Bright and golden in the cup, Ahmad Tea’s
Darjeeling has a refreshingly brisk taste with a fine balance of
flavours. The tea is lovely at any time of the day, and we love
it in the afternoons, served without milk to reveal all of the
tea’s fragrances and crisp finish. Our loose leaf Darjeeling
brings you a more refined brewing experience than our
teabags.Ahmad Tea’s Loose Leaf Darjeeling is presented in a
quintessentially British metal tea caddy, with the leaves
foil-sealed inside for freshness. Not only are decorative tea
caddies the perfect way to store and preserve loose leaf teas,
they celebrate the long-established British tea making ceremony.
Decorated with William Marlow’s 1788 painting Blackfriars Bridge
and St Paul’s Cathedral, our Loose Leaf Darjeeling caddy makes
the perfect gift.We are honoured that our Darjeeling tea won a
Great Taste award in 2018. The world’s most coveted food and
drink award, Great Taste’s judges praised our tea for its ‘sound,
long lasting flavour’ and for ‘delivering distinct Darjeeling
character’ in every cup.This pack contains 12 caddies.Ahmad Tea

Directions
----------
Step 1: Warm the teapot with hot water. Having a cold teapot
will cool the water so the tea won’t brew properly. Give the
water a little swirl around and then pour it away. Step 2: Use a
teaspoon or tea measure to scoop the loose tea into the teapot.
We recommend one teaspoon per person and one extra teaspoon for
the pot. Step 3: Fill your kettle with freshly drawn water and
bring it to the boil. Step 4: Pour the water straight onto the
tea and pop a tea cosy over the pot to keep it as hot as
possible. Leave for a minimum of four minutes to help it brew
properly. Step 5: Give the pot a quick stir to mix it up a little
bit and then serve. Add milk, lemon or sugar and enjoy your cup
of Ahmad Tea.
