Grown at high altitude in Darjeeling’s Eastern Valley, this refined single-estate tea is best enjoyed without milk, allowing its clean, peachy brightness and smooth finish to come forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"ostox4\" data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"882\"\u003eDarjeeling Loose Leaf Tea from Organic Marybong Estate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"1189\"\u003eMarybong is a historic Darjeeling tea garden with a name rooted in local tradition. In the Lepcha language of the Darjeeling hills, Marybong means “Mary’s place”. The estate began as part of the neighbouring Lingia garden before being joined with the adjacent Kyel Estate and formally established in 1876.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1557\"\u003eThe garden sits at high altitude in Darjeeling’s Eastern Valley, where cool Himalayan air, mist and well-drained mountain soils help produce teas of exceptional fragrance and delicacy. Marybong is planted largely with the original China variety of the tea plant, \u003cem data-start=\"1454\" data-end=\"1487\"\u003eCamellia sinensis var. sinensis\u003c\/em\u003e, known for its smaller leaves, gentle complexity and elegant flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"59e1og\" data-start=\"1559\" data-end=\"1604\"\u003eA Delicate Organic First Flush Darjeeling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1606\" data-end=\"1886\"\u003eThis organic first flush Darjeeling is made from the earliest growth of the season, picked as the tea bushes emerge from winter dormancy. These young spring leaves produce a lighter, brighter cup than later harvests, with a distinctive freshness prized by Darjeeling tea drinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1888\" data-end=\"2104\"\u003eIn the cup, Marybong gives a delicate light copper liquor with peachy highlights, floral aroma and a soft muscatel depth. The finish is smooth, clean and lingering, with natural sweetness and very little astringency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"hita4f\" data-start=\"2106\" data-end=\"2135\"\u003eBest Enjoyed Without Milk\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2369\"\u003eThis is a tea for quiet appreciation rather than a strong breakfast brew. It is ideal as an unhurried morning cup or a calm afternoon tea, especially for those who enjoy refined single-estate black teas with provenance and subtlety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2537\"\u003eMilk is not recommended, as it would cover the delicate floral notes, natural sweetness and gentle muscatel character that make first flush Darjeeling so distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"3mm6kj\" data-start=\"2539\" data-end=\"2586\"\u003eHow to Brew Marybong First Flush Darjeeling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2588\" data-end=\"2776\"\u003eUse freshly drawn water heated to around 90°C to 95°C rather than a full boil. This slightly lower temperature helps protect the delicate floral compounds and prevents unwanted bitterness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2778\" data-end=\"2998\"\u003eUse one heaped teaspoon of leaves per cup and steep for three to four minutes. Remove the leaves promptly once brewed. The leaves may also be infused a second time for a slightly lighter cup using the same steeping time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"lbjtps\" data-start=\"3000\" data-end=\"3015\"\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3017\" data-end=\"3067\"\u003eOrganic Darjeeling black tea, \u003cem data-start=\"3047\" data-end=\"3066\"\u003eCamellia sinensis\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"fdu6a6\" data-start=\"3069\" data-end=\"3095\"\u003eAbout High Teas London\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3097\" data-end=\"3368\"\u003eEstablished in 2008, High Teas London is an independent loose leaf tea specialist offering one of the largest collections of teas and infusions in the country.
