Known worldwide for its exquisite muscatel flavour, Makaibari's First Flush tea captures the essence of the Darjeeling Himalayas, a region celebrated for its unique tea-growing conditions. This particular tea is harvested during the first plucking of the season, from March to April, when the buds are tender and packed with flavour.

Sustainability & Quality:

Makaibari Tea Garden is not only known for its superior quality but also its commitment to sustainability. As one of the oldest and most revered gardens in Darjeeling, Makaibari uses organic and eco-friendly practices to produce its teas. The estate employs traditional hand-picking methods, which helps preserve the integrity and quality of the tea leaves.

The tea is produced at elevations of 3,000 to 6,000 feet above sea level, where the lush, fertile soils and cool, misty climate provide the perfect conditions for cultivating this world-famous tea. Makaibari’s dedication to organic farming is supported by a commitment to biodiversity, fair trade, and social welfare within the local community.

Health Benefits:

In addition to its delightful taste, Makaibari’s First Flush Darjeeling Tea offers numerous health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, it aids in improving digestion, boosting metabolism, and maintaining heart health. It is a great alternative to caffeinated beverages, providing a more gentle, sustained energy boost.

Brewing Instructions:

For the perfect cup of Darjeeling tea, use 1-2 teaspoons of loose leaves per cup of water. Heat the water to about 85°C to 90°C (not boiling) and let it steep for around 3-4 minutes. This will allow the tea to develop its beautiful golden colour and mellow flavour. You can adjust the steeping time according to your taste preference.
