A high grade premium tea — TGFOP1, with thin whole leaf and high bud content — harvested from the highly esteemed Castleton estate in the Darjeeling region of India. Castleton is among the most celebrated tea gardens on earth, and its teas are the standard by which Darjeeling is judged.

Unique growing conditions in the Himalayan foothills give this tea the region's signature muscatel character: a light, bright cup with grape-like fruitiness, floral lift and an elegant, lingering finish. Darjeeling is called "the champagne of teas" largely because of estates like this one.

Brew one teaspoon per cup with water just off the boil for 3 minutes. Always plain — this leaf deserves your full attention.
