Light yet complex, Sikkim teas are similar to those produced just to the south in the district of Darjeeling. Sikkims have a pleasant tannin level that is often accentuated by a natural fruity note. Currently, Temi is the only estate located in this tiny district, so a chest of Sikkim tea is a rare treat!

Historically, Sikkim has produced teas in the style of Darjeeling, with some interesting flavor tones that make it unique. In this medium-bodied selection, leaves in shades of brown and dark olive produce a rich fruity cup with honey sweetness. The amber infusion has a nice balance of flavors, which include notes of dried fruit, tropical fruit and muscatel. The crisp finish lingers with a light toasty hint. An excellent alternative for those who enjoy Darjeeling teas.
