I may or may not have went on a tea binge…

@ Happy Lucky’s during my last visit there. I got Blackberry Sage, Genmaicha and these other two. There may or may not be Kenya Fop en route to me from a friend, too. I pretty much drank this all summer long, but they don’t sell it locally because apparently it’s just not popular. (Because people don’t have good taste, that’s why…)

Meet:

Mandarin Green Darjeeling

Introduction: Made exclusively for us, this exceptional green Darjeeling is comprised of only the top leaves of the tea plant. After the leaves are carefully plucked, they are lightly baked at a low temperature to preserve their rich antioxidant properties. Blended with refreshing mandarin orange essence.

Flavor Profile: Cooling with distinct citrus taste.

Malty Assam

Origin: India

Introduction: The region of Assam is the largest tea producing region in the world and home to some of the best black teas from India. It lies 120 miles East of Darjeeling (a high elevation tea growing area), and borders with China, Burma, and Bangladesh. The distinct tea varietal growing in Assam is the Camellia Assamica, a relatively larger leaf tea plant.

Flavor Profile: Rich, malty brew with a slight caramel sweetness.
