The Darjeeling First Flush is from the famous and beautiful Balasun estate. It is rare and exquisite in layered, complex, notes of orchard blossoms and delicate fruit crispness. It is only the eighth tea plucking of the season from very early spring and speaks to the experience and craftsmanship of the producer.
Black Tea | High caffeine | Steep at 212° for 3 minutes.
Darjeeling tea is one of the most unique teas in the world. While it is grown in India, the plants themselves are actually of the smaller-leafed Chinese sinensis tea variety rather than the Indian assamica variety. Likewise, while it is most often marketed as a black tea, its processing often results in a tea that is a hybrid between black and oolong, though oolong, green, and white teas are also available. Grown in a region with cooler temperatures and slower growing times, it is harvested multiple times a year and accounts for 7% of the tea grown in India.

I purchased this a few months ago and it arrived in a tin. I'd like to give it as a gift - is there a way to select a tin again as opposed to a bag?
