Sikkim (Temi Estate)

This one drinks beautifully without any milk at all, which surprised me since I usually need it. The Temi Estate leaves are smooth and well-rounded with zero bitterness, even when I accidentally oversteep it. Already halfway through the tin.

I usually take my black tea with milk, but this one is so well-rounded I've been drinking it plain. The Temi Estate leaves have almost no astringency, just a clean finish that lingers a bit. Second steep held up fine too.

The smoothness is what got me—it’s genuinely well-rounded from the first sip to the last, no bitterness creeping in. I’ve been reaching for this every afternoon since it arrived, and the refined character really does live up to the description.
