India comes bearing the gift of great teas. This is a blend of the three best areas: Assam, Darjeeling and Nilgiri. Each tea brings something, body, aroma and briskness, so the "melange" is a delight. Dry Leaves: Mostly dark brown leaves lightened by green specks from the Darjeeling. Liquor: An orange brown that is lighter than Assams but darker than Darjeeling. Aroma: Muted notes of honey, citrus and stone fruit. Caffeine Level: Caffeinated Body: This is a medium bodied black tea. The Assam gives it strong body, but it is lightened up by the Darjeeling and Nilgiri. Flavors: A blend of the best of India, so the flavors combine together to make a tea with body, and more flavors than most Assams. Brewing Time: 5 minutes Brewing Temperature: 212° F
