The Tea

Yanki Bloodmoon is a black tea from Darjeeling, harvested and crafted in small batches from small farms on the evening of the Bloodmoon Summer 2018. In the light of the full moon and its eclipse tea leaves were finely plucked and withered outdoors. It is one of the first Darjeeling teas of its kind in the market, as most Darjeelings are from large estates. The tea is processed in an extremely small batch with a focus on a higher quality plucking standard and more uniform processing in the factory. This tea is light and refreshing with the strong second flush character of Darjeeling. This is a wonderful tea with extra energy from the moon, perfect to drink during ritual or everyday.
