The Producer

While Darjeerling is famous for black tea, Rohini garden has been adventurous, producing this fine, steamed second flush green tea from Japanese tea varietals (yabukita and fujimidori) planted in Darjeerling.

Tasting Notes

Garden flowers, with buttery hints, and low tannins.

Recipe

When infusing, use 3g (1 tsp) per 150ml (a teacup or glass). Infuse with water just off the boil (80C) for 3 mins. If you prefer a stronger tea, you can use more leaf (adds intensity) or infuse for longer (increased tannins).

Storage and Ageing

Store in a cool dry place. Assam teas change character with time. They are very good young and fresh but we prefer them after about a year. The age reduces the tannins and adds some sweet floral complexity.
