To prepare this tea, heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling, around 175°F (80°C). Place one teaspoon of the loose tea leaves per cup into a teapot or infuser. Pour the hot water over the leaves and let it steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Avoid over-steeping, as this can result in a bitter taste. Strain the tea into your cup and enjoy. Adjust steeping time and leaf quantity to your personal preference for strength.
How it differs from similar foods
Grüner Darjeeling differs from other green teas due to its unique terroir, which imparts a distinct muscatel-like flavor. It is often lighter and more floral than some Chinese green teas, and less astringent than many Japanese varieties. The processing methods also contribute to its delicate character.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Store the remaining loose tea in an airtight container away from light, moisture, and strong odors. This will help to maintain its freshness and aromatic qualities. Keep it in a cool, dry place for optimal preservation.
