GREEN DARJEELING FTGFOP1 | Puttabong Estate | India | Green Tea
The Puttabong Tea Estate, with its over 150 years of existence, is considered by many to produce the finest Darjeeling Green Tea in the whole of India, & some of the best in the world.
The characteristic peach & floral notes make for a fruity flavour with a crisp, slightly sharp finish.
A delicate tea for contemplative moments that can be enjoyed alone, or in the company of people able to match its mellow energy.
The Puttabong Tea Estate is 1 of only 87 registered gardens in the district that are allowed to label their tea as “Darjeeling”. Counterfeits are abound & some blenders call their tea “Darjeeling” even if only 51% of the blend comes from Darjeeling.

**Tea falling into this classification is a premier estate’s highest quality tea.

BREWING RECOMMENDATIONS:
- If you like your tea brewed stronger or weaker, adjust the amount of tea leaves.
- Brewing your tea too long can extract an undesirable bitterness from the leaves
- Loose leaf tea can typically be steeped multiple times. However, each steeping will yield a slightly lighter flavor than the previous.
- To brew in a large teapot, increase the amount of loose leaf tea to match the total cups of water you’re using.
