Steenbergs First Flush Darjeeling tea is an organic FTGFOP1 tea from the Marybong Tea Estate in Western Darjeeling.  Marybong - which means Mary's Place in Lepcha - is over 130 years old and is currently part of the Chamong Group. 


Marybong is a small tea garden of 285 hectares with 700 workers and is planted with China tea bushes.  The resultant tea is a high-grown gem of a tea, grown at 900 - 1800 metres above sea level and has glorious views across to the magical and mystical Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world.


Steenbergs Marybong tea is an orthodox tea with a unique floral quality, which my notes describe as "bright tips with plenty of whitey-green leaves; well-balanced, muscatel, light grassiness with a mellow, round mouthfeel; light coppery cup."  Steenbergs First Flush Darjeeling from Marybong is a classic First Flush Darjeeling that all tea lovers will enjoy.


How to make Marybong Darjeeling Tea - into a warmed teapot, put 1 teaspoon of Marybong First Flush Darjeeling Tea per cup.  Bring fresh water to the boil and then pour over the Marybong First Flush Darjeeling Tea and brew for 3 - 5 minutes.  Don't leave the tea leaves to stew!
