YOU ASKED WE ANSWERED

What do you mean by Summer Chinary Black tea ?

By Chinary, we are referring to the tea plant - Camellia sinensis var. sinensis, from where the tea has been crafted.

Chinary tea plants are known for their specific flavor characteristics, and the summer harvest season influences the tea's taste and overall profile.

The atmospheric conditions, such as temperature and sunlight exposure, contribute to the unique flavors and aromas found in this tea.

What is the taste profile of Summer Chinary black teas ?

Summer Chinary Black teas from Darjeeling offer a distinctive taste profile characterized by a medium to full body, featuring pronounced fruity accents and subtle nutty-woody undertones.

The larger, more mature leaves harvested during the summer contribute to a rich and full flavor, distinct from the delicate First Flush teas.

These teas often strike a balance in astringency, providing a satisfying mouthfeel, and may showcase musky notes, adding a hint of fruity and wine-like complexity.

Does this tea contain caffeine?

Summer Chinary Black teas, like all teas made from the Camellia sinensis plant, do contain caffeine.

In fact, due to the slightly longer oxidation process commonly associated with summer harvests, these teas often exhibit higher caffeine levels compared to some other black teas.

While the precise caffeine content can vary, it's essential to be aware that Summer Chinary Black teas provide a moderate to high caffeine experience.

What is the recommended steeping method for this tea?

1. Begin by heating water to around 185¡F-194¡F (85¡C-90¡C).
2. Use approximately 1 to 2 teaspoons of tea leaves
3. Pour the hot water over the leaves
4. Let them steep for 4-5 minutes.
5. Strain and enjoy sipping.

Experimenting with steeping times will reveal different nuances in the tea, offering a personalized and enjoyable tasting experience.

Can this tea be enjoyed with milk and sugar?

The decision to add milk and sugar is a matter of personal taste.

While some prefer to savor the robust and multi-layered flavors of this tea without any additions, others may opt for the milder taste achieved by incorporating milk and sugar.

Is this tea suitable for those who prefer a milder cup?

Darjeeling Summer Chinary Black teas may not be the first choice for those who prefer a milder cup, as it tends to exhibit a medium to full body with robust flavors, including buoyant fruity-nutty flavors and balanced astringency.

Are these teas sustainably sourced ?

At Teabox, we are steadfast in our commitment to sourcing all our teas sustainably.

We procure teas from esteemed gardens that prioritize ethical and sustainable practices, emphasizing both environmental stewardship and social responsibility.

Our meticulous selection process ensures that the teas we offer are not only of the highest quality but also sourced with a keen focus on sustainability.

What I look forward to in the afternoon

There is just nothing better than a cup of Darjeeling Oaks Summer Chinary Black tea in the afternoon. The only issue that I have is that after I tasted TeaBox teas, I cannot go back to the traditional store bought tea bags! All of their teas are amazing and their customer service is outstanding.

Fresh Tasty Tea

I have tried multiple vendors, Teabox tea is the best by far! This is the only one I am drinking now.

Another well flavoured tea,...

Another well flavoured tea, consistent quality

Good Tea

This is good tea. I would have have been much happy if I could get a better aromatic one.

Balanced, aromatic and not acidic

Tried quite a few teas lately and must say thos one tales the cake hands down. You may gladly over steep it and ot will still not get bitter. It is so amazing that u can do a second infusion with the same tea and it still goves u great albiet with a little longer brewing. Without a doubt the best

lovely tea

depth of flavor and color that you expect from a classic Darjeeling

a mysterious one

There is something mysterious about this tea and it's aroma. Kinda narrates a story about the place it's comes from, I mean it's an story to experience from opening the box to sipping it. The feeling it's aroma gives throughout the whole process is almost majestic, it's beautiful aroma manages to draw your contestant attention so well that it makes you really aware and feel special about yourself and the whole experience with it.
MUST TRY

Darjeeling tea

Great taste and flavour

With very decent mustard.

The infusion is clear and lush, golden orange color, full of taste and lively, sweet, with very decent mustard. The aroma dominates mostly fruit tones. Very nice tea. Great choice for small money !!!

Aromatic and excellent evening companion

Received it as a sample with my order and fell in love with it. I'll be taking this one again for sure, once I'm done exploring the varieties here. The scent is as described, fruity with a hint of dark wood smoke. The taste is lovely, smooth and almost no astringency, the way I like it.
