The high-quality second flush tea form the Doke estate gives this tea a unique character with strong amber notes, smells sweet and sugary that complements the blended flowers. The tea is astrigent with balanced elements of briskness and brightness.Ingredients: Doke (Bihar) second-flush tea, Blue pea flowers, Hibiscus petalsSteeping: For an authentic preparation we recommend using 2 teaspoons (~ 3g) of tea steeped in a cup of hot water (8 oz).
