Cultivated in the heart of Darjeeling, facing the permanently snow-capped Mount Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the Himalayas, the tea garden lies at an altitude of 4000-6500 feet and is an idyllic place to grow one of the finest teas in the world. - The temperature range, rich soil, and pure water descending from the high mountains give the tea a unique and unforgettable aroma. - The Second Flush is the summer harvest and for two weeks during this period, an extraordinary natural event takes place in just a few Darjeeling tea gardens. A small insect similar to a grasshopper, called a jassid, is attracted by the fully hydrated summer tea leaves. The jassid drinks the sap causing the leaves to stop growing, which concentrates the flavor. It also triggers oxidation and the release of fragrant enzymes which are what give the tea its flavor of muscat grapes and copper color. - Pantenger Darjeeling Summer Harvest loose leaf tea is supplied in airtight tins to protect the tea from oxidation. We hope the natural harmony of our tins and the purity of our tea will invite you to take a moment of your day to hold your own tea ceremony and enjoy some quality time.

Pantenger Darjeeling tea has a subtle muscatel aroma characteristic of the summer harvest. The translucent copper liquor hints at its delicate nature.

The Second Flush is the summer harvest and for two weeks during this period, an extraordinary natural event takes place in just a few Darjeeling tea gardens. A small insect similar to a grasshopper, called a jassid, is attracted by the fully hydrated summer tea leaves. The jassid drinks the sap causing the leaves to stop growing, which concentrates the flavor. It also triggers oxidation and the release of fragrant enzymes which are what give the tea its flavor of muscat grapes and copper color.

Cultivated in the heart of Darjeeling, facing the permanently snow-capped Mount Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the Himalayas, the tea garden lies at an altitude of 4000-6500 feet and is an idyllic place to grow one of the finest teas in the world. The temperature range, rich soil, and pure water descending from the high mountains give the tea a unique and unforgettable aroma.

Tea bushes require water to be drained fast and the steep slopes of the tea garden are natural protection against the monsoon rains floodings. Soil

The right amount of tea is 1 teaspoon (2 to 3 grams) / 6 Fl. Oz. of water (200°F ? 212°F).

Brew For 2 To 3 Minutes
