Overview
Tip: Steep 1 tsp of Sikkim Second Flush Muscatel in 95°C water for 3 minutes, then strain.

Grown in the Himalayan state of Sikkim (neighbouring Darjeeling), this highly fragrant black loose leaf tea has distinctive notes of Muscatel grapes. The entire state converted to organic agriculture between 2003 - 2016 and now produces some of the purest, sustainable and truly exquisite tea in India.
