After some fallow years from 1962-1994, the Rohini Estate was partially re-planted with China-bush teas and re-opened in 2000, with production of high quality ,classic Darjeelings from that period.
"Moonlight" is a wonderful, hand-rolled first flush, with classic hard withering and moderate oxidation to produce a beautiful tea full of white tips and whole young leaves. The brew is a great, bright apricot in colour and fresh/floral/fruity in the mouth with just a hint of the requisite "brisk" astringency to pull it all together. Yum..!

About The Tea Catcher
1997-2001 The Tea Catcher lived, travelled, worked and studied in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Italy and the Czech Republic. During this time he drank much tea and visited tea growing regions.
2001-2009 Was spent mostly in Europe working with fine foods and olive oils in Italy, wine in Switzerland and tea in Prague.

2010-today on return to Australia, The Tea Catcher seed, planted years ago, began its’ growth, leading to the purveyor of “the finest teas and accoutrements, sourced worldwide” that you see today. New teas, pots etc are constantly being chased, studied, sampled and ordered to bring the freshest, best and most interesting to you as soon as possible. Watch this space…..!
