Made in the distinctive BPS, or Broken Pekoe Souchong, grade, it brews to a rich reddish-gold cup with spicy warmth, muscatel complexity and enough body to enjoy either black or with a splash of milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"15xb6w8\" data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"931\"\u003eOrganic Darjeeling Loose Leaf Tea from Sungma Estate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"1223\"\u003eSungma Estate lies in Darjeeling’s Rung Bong Valley, where its gardens rise from around 1,420 to 2,360 metres above sea level. This fully certified organic estate is known for producing teas with clarity, aromatic depth and a character shaped by cool mountain air, mist and Himalayan soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1525\"\u003eWhile many Darjeeling teas are prized for delicacy, Sungma BPS offers something more assertive. It is a tea with real presence: fuller in the cup, warmer in flavour and especially appealing to drinkers who want the distinctive muscatel quality of Darjeeling carried by a stronger black tea structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"19c9enc\" data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1576\"\u003eA Stronger BPS Darjeeling with Muscatel Depth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1862\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong data-start=\"1582\" data-end=\"1595\"\u003eBPS grade\u003c\/strong\u003e, or Broken Pekoe Souchong, uses tightly curled, broken leaves that infuse more quickly and produce a more robust brew than many whole-leaf Darjeelings. The dry leaf shows a natural mixture of darker and greener tones, reflecting the rolling style used in processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1864\" data-end=\"2117\"\u003eIn the cup, the tea is bold and aromatic, with warming spice, a distinctive muscatel undertone and a satisfying depth that lingers. It stands apart from lighter first flush Darjeelings and offers a more powerful, full-flavoured expression of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"f5qg9l\" data-start=\"2119\" data-end=\"2168\"\u003eOrganic Sungma Estate Tea with Real Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2170\" data-end=\"2389\"\u003eSungma is one of Darjeeling’s historic gardens, with roots stretching back to the nineteenth century. Its name is linked to the Tibetan phrase \u003cem data-start=\"2313\" data-end=\"2325\"\u003eSanga Maru\u003c\/em\u003e, often translated as a place where mushrooms grow in abundance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2391\" data-end=\"2651\"\u003eToday, its organic cultivation and high-altitude setting help produce teas of excellent individuality. This Broken Pekoe Souchong is a fine example: authentic, expressive and made for those who appreciate Darjeeling not only for finesse, but also for strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"12x7qxz\" data-start=\"2653\" data-end=\"2692\"\u003eEnjoy Black or with a Touch of Milk\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2694\" data-end=\"2937\"\u003eSungma BPS is versatile in the cup. Served black, its reddish-gold liquor, spicy profile and muscatel notes come through most clearly. With a small splash of milk, the sharper edges soften while the tea retains its body and aromatic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2939\" data-end=\"3114\"\u003eThat makes it an excellent choice for Darjeeling drinkers seeking a more substantial everyday cup, without losing the provenance and complexity of a single-estate organic tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"19ayb7q\" data-start=\"3116\" data-end=\"3172\"\u003eHow to Brew Sungma Organic Darjeeling Loose Leaf Tea\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3174\" data-end=\"3334\"\u003eUse freshly boiled water at \u003cstrong data-start=\"3202\" data-end=\"3211\"\u003e100°C\u003c\/strong\u003e and approximately \u003cstrong data-start=\"3230\" data-end=\"3254\"\u003eone teaspoon per cup\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The broken leaf extracts quickly, so avoid over-steeping beyond five minutes if you want to keep the finish smooth and balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"High Teas London","offers":[{"title":"50g","offer_id":31088870326336,"sku":"DABP-50-DB127","price":6.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"125g","offer_id":31088870359104,"sku":"DABP-125-DB127","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":31088870391872,"sku":"DABP-250-DB127","price":21.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":31088870424640,"sku":"DABP-500-DB127","price":37.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"60g","offer_id":41189805064370,"sku":"DABP-60-DB127","price":8.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"150g","offer_id":41189809619122,"sku":"DABP-150-DB127","price":15.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/2161\/7956\/files\/DarjeelingBPSSungmaEstateOrganicPM_f9334a5d-7de2-42f5-a338-1821f1481d74.jpg?v=1778164522","url":"https:\/\/highteas.co.uk\/products\/organic-darjeeling-loose-leaf-tea-sungma-bps","provider":"High Teas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
