Second flush Darjeelings are typified as being more complex and fuller in the cup than the first flush varieties which tend to be a little greener and lighter. Darjeelings are considered among the rarest and most prestigious of the black teas. The best grades are the whole leaf types with lots of "tip." This tea is the grade FTGFOP. (finest tippy golden flowery orange pekoe) and is in the upper 10 percentile of Castleton's quality. - The estate is near the town of Kurseong in the Darjeeling district of northern India. Castleton is one of the top estates in Darjeeling and consistently produces top teas - and not surprisingly obtains the top prices. The major method of transportation to Darjeeling is road (very treacherous) and a narrow gauge railway. In world terms the railway is almost considered a toy railroad system. The narrow gauge does not support large engines or carriages, also the steep inclines necessitate a cog system to help - Wonderful muscatel highlights with a delicate strength - Hot tea brewing method: This tea is best enjoyed using 2-3 tea bags for a 6 cup teapot. Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, remove the bags and pour. We do not recommend adding milk or sugar since this can mask some of the intrigue and subtle nuances of this vintage tea. - Iced tea brewing method: (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 5 tea bags into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold
