ORGANIC DARJEELING TEA, black

Ingredients:organic Darjeeling tea leaf (Camellia sinensis) - Autumnal flush

Fresh tea leaves are left to wither in the sun, then tumbled to bruise the leaves in order to allow degrees of oxidation. Finally, the leaves are rolled and heat dried to stop the oxidation process.
