To be able to join the real heroes of Darjeeling’s hills – the women tea pluckers – in song, dance and some tea picking at the Makaibari Tea Estate was a real treat of sorts. They are the warmest humans you will ever meet – hard working, tenacious and strong. I joined them at Makaibari’s Chungi plantation – a phenomenal landscape of the best tea you will find. The dry leaves of the Second Flush Muscatel are typically dark brown with hints of gold tips. The a liquor is a rich amber/golden and it tastes sweet, fruity notes reminiscent of muscat grapes, with floral undertones. To be able to taste the tea later plucked with my own hands was a phenomenal feeling – it tasted smooth, mellow body with a prominent muscatel taste, with hints of grape. Subtle notes of apricots or peaches, with light astringency and a smooth finish.
