Darjeeling Makaibari

$2.58 ~~$3.8~~ In stock

Desiring a light hearted black tea with complex flavors? Then you are in the right place. This tea is smooth but contains a slight hint of tannin with a hint of muskiness. It is perfect as an afternoon tea. It technically is an oolong rather than black since the oxidation is less than 90%. It is grown in the mountains of West Bengal, a province of India, and uses tea plants which originated in China. The estate on which it is grown is Makaibari.

Caffeine Content: 35-40 mgs per 8 oz cup

Penelope Y. ★★★★★ Sep 11, 2026

The muskiness surprised me at first sip, but it settles into something smooth and light with just enough tannin to keep it interesting. It's become my go-to afternoon cup, no milk needed.

I've been drinking this every afternoon for a week and the smoothness is what keeps me coming back. That slight tannin gives it just enough backbone without turning bitter if I let it steep a minute too long.

That muskiness really comes through on the second steep, and the tannin bite keeps it from feeling too flimsy for a black tea. I’ve been reaching for this every afternoon since the pouch arrived, it’s light enough to not wreck my stomach before dinner.
