Brewed a pot this morning and the altitude really comes through—clean, crisp, and surprisingly delicate for a tea that's been around since 1852. The leaves are whole and fluffy, which made for a beautiful second steep too.

The first flush from this 1852 estate has a delicate, almost floral character that lingers nicely. I brewed it at 90°C for three minutes and got a clean, bright cup that felt genuinely special. Perfect for slow weekend mornings.

The altitude really shows in the leaves—at 2,000 meters, the first cup had that delicate, floral brightness I’ve only found in high-grown Darjeeling. It’s been my morning ritual since the pouch arrived, and the second steep holds up beautifully without getting bitter.
