The Diamond is an outstanding example of the Arya Estate’s ‘Jewel’ teas. It is a top grade Darjeeling and delivers the classic bright, beautifully balanced flavours of one of the finest teas in the world.
The ‘chunky tip’ leaves are skilfully picked by the women on the organic Arya Estate to whom the exceptional taste is attributed. The dry tea has dark, twisted leaves and is filled with glorious furry silver and golden tips, and, when infused, the tea is smooth and rounded on the palate, with a long-lasting sweet after taste reminiscent of dried fruits and nuts.
Quick Brewing Instructions: Use 1-2tsp per cup (250 ml); water temperature 95°C, infuse for 1-2 mins
