Sikkim Temi - Summer Muscatel Black

Temi Estate Organic Black Tea (July 2025 Harvest)

This highly fragrant organic black tea hails from the iconic, high-altitude Temi Estate in the Himalayan state of Sikkim (neighbouring Darjeeling). This superb summer harvest, produced in July 2025, is a Chinary tea offering a vibrant cup marked by a gentle musky depth and the distinctive, sought-after notes of Muscatel grapes.

The raw tea is composed of a fine-sized leaf mixture featuring various hues and carries a sweet and inviting raw smell. Once brewed, it yields a deep golden-amber liquor and a medium-bodied, supple cup. The aroma is equally engaging, with uplifted notes of apricot and drupes accented by a gentle, honeyed sweetness.

On the palate, it is bright and refined, led by ripe stone-fruity notes of apricot and nectarine, complemented by gentle zesty undertones and a hint of soft woodiness. As the entire state of Sikkim has converted to 100% organic agriculture, this high-altitude organic black tea represents some of the purest, most sustainable, and truly exquisite tea available. Its smooth, clean finish and musky trail linger softly, making this rare gem a must-buy for anyone seeking a tea that enthrals your senses with the fabled muscatel sweetness
