The host and one of the tea importers from Trident Cafe and Teas, Jake Dirnberger, samples an old bush first flush darjeeling, Himalayan Moonlight, with filmmaker, Josh Hyde. This is an exceedingly rare and high-quality Darjeeling from the high-elevation Gopaldhara tea estate in Northern India. It is harvested from the sinensis varietal tea bushes left by British estate owners over 100 years ago. The combination of the high-mountain growing conditions (e.g. thinner atmosphere and colder nights) along with the age of the tea bushes and their complex, interlaced root systems, and classic Darjeeling terroir makes this an extremely special tea.
