Sirocco Purple Breeze (20 bags)

Sirocco Buy Purple Breeze (20 bags)

Picked in the traditional tea gardens on the southern slopes of the Himalayas. A Darjeeling with a characteristically sweet flavour.

Darjeeling is one of the most renowned tea varieties. The region around the Indian city of Darjeeling is the centre of Bengali tea cultivation; it was also the starting point of a caravan route to Tibet and is still known today primarily for the mostly very high-quality tea of the same name.

In contrast to standard Darjeelings, we only use tea of the highest classification SFTGFOP1 (Special Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe) for our Purple Breeze.

Good to know...

A Darjeeling should be brewed at a water temperature of 95-98°C (leave the water in the kettle for a short time after boiling and wait until it stops boiling). The tea should only be left to infuse for 2-3 minutes. Darjeeling can develop its flavour best when the water hardness is low.

Preparation

leave to infuse for 2 - 3 minutes
