Summary:
100% pure single origin Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe (FBOP) from the organic (and incredibly beautiful) Hathikuli Estate in the mountains of Assam, India.
Malty yet fruity with raspberry and plum and a rich smoothness that is second to none.
The word Hathikuli is derived from the Assamese words “Hathi” (elephant) and “Kuli” (Frequent) which translates into a place that is frequently visited by elephants. The estate is nestled alongside the Kaziranga National Park world heritage site.
Enjoy with or without milk, sugar or lemon. After all, the best way to drink tea is the way you like best!
Add 1 heaped teaspoon per cup (that’s around 2.5 - 3 grams) and pour on 100°C water straight off the boil.
Infuse the tea for 2 - 3 minutes and enjoy.
Re-infuse 1 - 2 times.
Don’t forget, you can adjust any of the measurements to suit your style!
