Finest Darjeeling

Highest quality early season first flush Indian Darjeeling – sophisticated and aromatic with hints of muscatel. First Flush Indian Darjeeling is the most highly sought after taste as it’s the first growth of the new season (plucked in March/April) and has the typically characteristic ‘muscatel’ or grape-like flavour that gives a very light and green taste in the cup. 

Located in the foothills of the Himalayas, it is some of the highest grown tea in the world and is often referred to as the ‘Champagne of teas.’ Like the Champagne region in France, it can only be called Darjeeling if it is grown within the region’s boundaries and this is strictly controlled and protected.

Boil freshly drawn water, infuse leaves for up to four minutes and drink with or without milk.

Spicy Chai (teapod blend)

teapod’s take on the Indian classic – the rich and spicy tea that needs a hint of sugar to bring out the smooth flavour. (Indian Assam black tea, Sri Lankan Uva black tea, Ginger root, Cinnamon, Cardamom seeds and red peppercorns)

Traditionally drunk in parts of India and Nepal, Masala Chai (literally ‘Spice Tea’) is a combination of black tea, spices, milk and plenty of sugar. Often brewed in a big vat on a stove, each family would have their own secret recipe – and at teapod, we’ve created our own!
