Brewing Guide
Strength
Do not use boiling water — it scorches the delicate first-flush leaves.
A Day With This Tea
Morning Clarity
Begin gently. A first flush Darjeeling wakes the palate with muscatel brightness — lighter than coffee, clearer than thought.
Mid-Morning Focus
The floral notes deepen as morning settles. A cup between tasks — aromatic, alert, never harsh.
Afternoon Reset
Step away from the screen. Let the light body and sweet finish carry you through the final stretch of the day.
Golden Hour
As light softens, so does this tea. The perfect companion for a window seat and nothing particular to do.
Origin Story

Singell Estate, Darjeeling
Est. 1860s
Singell estate sits at 1,920 metres on the southeastern slopes of Kanchenjunga, where morning clouds cling to the terraces until 10am. The soil — ancient granite and red loam — forces the Camellia sinensis bushes to grow slowly. That slowness is everything. The muscatel character Darjeeling is famous for develops in this particular convergence of altitude, mist, and mineral-rich earth.

Food Pairings
What to eat
with it.
Suggestions from the estates and valleys where these teas are grown — foods that share altitude, season, and character.
Shortbread
Buttery and plain — lets the muscatel sing without competition.
Soft Cheeses
Brie or ricotta on toast. The floral notes cut through the fat beautifully.
Stone Fruits
Fresh apricots, peaches, or plums mirror the tea's natural sweetness.
Madeleine
A Proustian pairing. The light sponge and lemon complement the first flush perfectly.
