The Mim Tea Estate in Darjeeing

The Mim Tea Estate is located in the beautiful hills of Darjeeling and is famous for its heritage, premium tea and quality. Established in the 1860s during the British colonial era, this is one of the oldest tea gardens in the region. It has contributed to Darjeeling being known as the “Champagne of Teas.”

Situated on rolling hills at 2,000 to 6,000 feet, Mim benefits from the perfect climate, soil and environment to produce top quality tea.
The estate is famous for its tea production process, which combines traditional methods with modern sustainability. Each leaf is hand plucked to ensure only the best is selected and the character of the tea is preserved.

Mim produces second flush teas known for their muscatel flavour, a characteristic of Darjeeling Tea. Robust yet elegant.

Mim Tea Estate has also been in the news for its sustainable agriculture and eco friendly practices. Many of its teas are grown organically, a reflection of its love for nature and fair trade.

How to brew Darjeeling Second Flush Mim Tea

1. Choose Good Tea Leaves – Use 2 grams (1 teaspoon) of Darjeeling Second Flush Mim Tea for 8 oz of water. Make sure the leaves are fresh and stored in an airtight container to preserve the quality and flavour.
2. Boil Water – Boil fresh filtered water to 195°F to 205°F (90°C to 96°C). Don’t boil, as it will burn the tea leaves and change the flavour.
3. Teaware – Preheat your teapot or cup by rinsing with hot water. This will help maintain the brewing temperature and give a consistent infusion.
4. Steep the Tea – Add the tea leaves to your teapot or infuser, then pour the hot water over the leaves. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes or to your desired strength. For a stronger flavour, steep for a minute more.
5. Strain and Serve – Once the tea has steeped, strain the leaves and pour into your cup. Don’t over steep, as it will become bitter.
6. Enjoy – Drink on its own or with a light snack. For purists, it’s best to drink Darjeeling without milk or sugar to enjoy the muscatel flavour and aroma.

By following these steps you can experience the full Darjeeling Second Flush Mim Tea — tradition, craftsmanship and flavour in every cup.

Tasting Notes for Darjeeling Mim Tea

Darjeeling Second Flush Mim Tea is a sensory delight, famous for its character and flavours. On the first sip you will get the muscatel flavour — a rich wine like flavour with hints of ripe fruit and a sweet undertone. The initial flavour is followed by its woody and floral notes which add layers of complexity.

The liquor is a beautiful amber, glowing in the cup. The aroma is equally enticing, a bouquet of fruity and floral notes with a honeyed sweetness. This aroma sets the palate up for the flavours to come.

The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, medium bodied and balanced between light and strong. As the tea lingers on the palate it leaves a pleasant slightly astringent finish, cleansing the taste buds for the next sip. The astringency never overpowers but enhances the tea’s individual characteristics.
