Choosing the Right Harvest For Your Ritual
Both teas embody exemplary Himalayan craftsmanship, yet they cater to distinctly different moments in your day. When seeking brisk morning vigour or a robust base that stands tall alongside rich culinary fare, the fuller tannin structure of Assam orthodox is unmatched. Conversely, for mindful afternoon contemplation or delicate palate cleansing, the high-elevation muscatel delicacy of Darjeeling remains supreme.
