What’s in itDarjeeling black tea, 1st flush
Perfect for
- High tea
How to brew it
- 212°F / 100°C

- Single-origin leaf shows its character best without milk; try it plain first
Beyond the cup
The spring tea – light, bright, and nothing like the muscatel 2nd flushes. Brew alongside sushi, steamed fish, or cucumber sandwiches. Use as a delicate poaching liquid for white fish. Steep into cream for the lightest, most ethereal custard base. Think white wine territory, not red.
What it goes with
The champagne of the estate collection. Bright, clean, and built for light food. Pair with our Dill for fish dishes, our Herbes de Provence for delicate French cooking, or our Cardamom as a gentle single-spice accent.

Maple Peach
The maple peach is delicious. What a beautiful combination. I will most definitely order it again, and a higher quantity of it.

Always handy
I use dillweed often. This dill is fresh and has a nice aroma. I use it in marinades, salad dressings, and on fish. Good stuff.
