Description
Blender’s Notes Monk’s Blend:
A blend of Black Tea from India! This combination features teas from three different areas of India!
This blend is only composed of high-grade productions of various Darjeeling estates. A classic of our second flush assortment! Appearance: a medium, regular, dark Sinensis leaf with some tips. This second flush tea was blended in Darjeeling exclusively for us. The spicy taste and full aroma make this an uncommon but delightful cup of tea. The infusion of the Darjeeling Himalaya blend welcomes us with a bronze-colored cup and a harmoniously spicy flower!
In 1852, Steinthal was founded by the German priest Joachim Stoelke as the first tea garden in Darjeeling. It is very popular particularly in Europe, not only due to its history but also thanks to the excellent qualities which have been produced there over the years. Steinthal is probably the only tea garden in Darjeeling which still cultivates 100 % China plants. This is wonderfully reflected by the nicely worked, slightly twisted Sinensis leaf. The cup is full-bodied with a muscatel flavor, and the infusion has a delicately flowery scent.
A classical Assam from the second plucking period from one of the top tea estates of the region. For almost 100 years now, excellent teas have been produced here, just like our quality with its wiry, colorful leaf and the strong and spicy flavor with a rich, malty character. A real delicacy, either drunk pure or with Kluntje (rock sugar) and cream, like in Eastern Frisia.

We also source some of our Black Tea from Africa and Thailand for something unique. Normally, Black Teas will be in placed into combinations like the industry standards of English Breakfast or Irish Breakfast, but we also have many single country origins available.
