Long ago I read that the original Darjeeling tea plantation plants were getting too old and that they had been so popular no one had bothered to replant them, feeling that they wanted to stick with a sure winner. So I was very happy to find out you could still get delicious Darjeeling tea. I hadn't had any for many years. Then I read up and found out that second flush was the best quality, so I splurged. I LOVE it!

A great second flush

Fuller bodied than a lot of 2nd flushes. Nice fruity & nutty aroma. Definite sweet tones - tastes of roasted stone fruits with a nutty finish. Nice tea

One of the most flavourful teas I've tasted in ages!

My palate was getting jaded with the pedestrian teas I'd been drinking. A friend recommended Makaibari & I am glad he did so. I am planning to order more.

Delightful

Excellent

great quality

Very nice taste and flavor. It has maintained its quality over time. This was my second repeat order.
