Phoobsering Tea Estate Story

This tea garden got its name from Phoob Sherpa, who was not only a local leader, but also instrumental in developing this land. Initially established during British colonial rule, it quickly earned fame for growing high-quality leaves due to peculiarities of local climate, altitude and soil type.

Brewing Guidefor 2024 Phoobsering Darjeeling First Flush Tea

If you want to enjoy all the subtle flavors and lively personality of 2024 Phoobsering Darjeeling First Flush Tea, try these brewing tips:

1. Water Quality and Temperature: Use clean, filtered water to avoid any off tastes caused by impurities.
2. Heat the water to 185°F (85°C), being careful not to let it boil too vigorously and burn the tea leaves.
3. Amount of Tea: Measure out one teaspoonful of tea for every 8 ounces of water. You can adjust this ratio depending on how strong you like your tea.
4. Brewing Vessel: A porcelain or glass teapot is ideal for brewing this type of tea because these materials do not absorb flavors from previous infusions.

6. Serving: Pour the tea into a cup through a strainer after it has finished steeping. For its natural flavors to blossom, first flush teas are usually best enjoyed plain without milk or sugar.
