To prepare this Darjeeling green tea, heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling, around 175°F (80°C). Use about one teaspoon of tea leaves per 8-ounce cup. Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on your preference for strength. Avoid over-steeping, as this can lead to bitterness. The tea can be enjoyed without any additions, allowing its natural sweetness and floral notes to come through. It is best brewed in a clean teapot or infuser.
How it differs from similar foods

First Flush Darjeelings are known for their lighter body and brighter, more floral notes compared to later harvests or green teas from other regions. The FTGFOP1 grade signifies a higher leaf quality, contributing to a more refined taste.
