CUP'O Darjeeling Green Tea 100g – Whole Leaf Family Pack

A single 100 g pack of CUP'O Darjeeling Green Tea, whole leaf and loose. This is the size to buy if you are trying Darjeeling green for the first time, or keeping a second tea in the kitchen alongside your everyday black. The leaves come from high-altitude gardens in the Darjeeling hills and brew a pale, floral cup.

Key Features

• Starter size: one 100 g pack, enough to decide whether it becomes a regular
• Whole leaf, loose: no dust, no fannings, no bags
• Floral and light with a gentle grassy note
• Single-origin Darjeeling from Himalayan foothill gardens
• No artificial flavouring or preservatives

How to Brew

Warm the pot, add a teaspoon of leaf per cup, and pour water at roughly 80°C. Steep two to three minutes and strain. A second steep, slightly longer, gives a softer cup that many people prefer to the first.

Product Details

• Net quantity: 100 g

Good to Know

• The cup is pale by design; colour is not an indicator of strength in green tea
• Over-steeping is the most common cause of bitterness, not the leaf itself
• Garden teas vary a little between harvests in aroma and leaf size

FAQs

Is 100 g enough to know whether I like it?

Comfortably. It gives you 40 to 50 cups, which is plenty of time to settle on your preferred strength and steep time.

Should I add milk or sugar?

Neither is recommended. Darjeeling green is delicate and milk flattens it; a slice of lemon is a better addition if you want one.

How is it different from the black tea?

The green is unoxidised, lighter and floral. The black is fuller, with the muscatel character Darjeeling is known for.

Can I refrigerate the pack?

Better not to. Condensation is worse for tea than room temperature; an airtight tin in a dark cupboard is ideal.
