The blend is comprised of luxury teas from no less than three of India‟s premiere growing districts, Assam, Darjeeling and the Nilgiri, each with their own rich histories.

All the highlights of India’s teas in a synergistic flavory blend. Malty 2nd flush Assams, 1st flush Darjeelings and sprightly January Nilgiris.
