Lopchu Legacy Flowery Orange Pekoe – 50g Premium Loose Leaf Tea

Description

Taste the rich heritage of the Himalayas with Lopchu Legacy, a single-origin masterpiece sourced directly from the world-renowned Lopchu Tea Estate in Darjeeling. Nestled at a high altitude where cool mountain air meets misty valleys, this tea is celebrated globally for its distinctive, “musky” sweetness and incomparable natural smoky undertones.

Often referred to by connoisseurs as the “Cognac of Teas,” Lopchu is highly prized for its bold character, smooth body, and lack of bitterness. Choosing our 50g loose leaf format ensures you receive the finest whole orthodox leaves, allowing them to unfurl completely in your teapot. This preserves the essential oils that give Lopchu its signature earthy aroma and deep amber-gold liquor, offering a timeless, premium tea-drinking experience.

• Estate-Direct Excellence: 100% authentic, single-estate Lopchu Darjeeling black tea.
• Distinctive Flavor Profile: A rare, sophisticated combination of smoky, malty, and naturally sweet muscatel notes.
• Whole Leaf Integrity: 50 grams of loose tea free from dust or fannings, perfect for multiple flavorful infusions.

Brewing Instructions

To fully capture the complex “Legacy” of this unique Darjeeling black tea, follow these precise steps:

Hot Brew: The Traditional Experience 1. Measure: Place 1 teaspoon (approx. 2g) of Lopchu Legacy loose tea into your teapot or infuser.

1. Heat: Bring 150ml of fresh water to a temperature of 85-90°C (just before it reaches a rolling boil).
2. Steep: Pour the heated water over the leaves, cover, and let it steep for 3-4 minutes. This duration perfectly balances the tea’s natural smokiness with its smooth, malty sweetness.
3. Enjoy: Strain and enjoy black to fully appreciate its complex character, or add a dash of warm milk and sugar according to your preference.

Cold Brew: The Royal Amber Iced Tea 1. Combine: Mix 2 tablespoons of Lopchu Legacy loose tea with 600ml of room-temperature or cold filtered water in a glass pitcher.

1. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for 6-8 hours. The cold-steeping process tames the smoky edge and highlights the smoother, sweeter notes of the Darjeeling leaf.
2. Serve: Strain out the loose leaves, pour over ice, and enjoy a sophisticated, incredibly refreshing iced black tea.
