Tea That Packs a Punch
Punch originated in India 1,500 years ago. Then it was called Panj, a Hindi word meaning five, because it had five ingredients: citrus juice, water, arrack, sugar and spices

I am going to gift to my grandson (alongside some packets of Karma teas) who is an up and coming tea addict. I think he will love it but his birthday has not yet come around. Aesthetically, the rounded shape is attractive and I like that being glass the glorious shades of various teas will be on view. Considering treating myself to one soon.
One of the best chai which I buy on repeat. A strong and robust brew blended with a variety of spices which is incredibly punchy as I want yet very palatable to enjoy with no milk and/or sugar.
This tea infuser is very handy if you want just a single cup or mug of tea rather than making a whole pot.
Unlike many other infusers this one has room inside to allow the tea to infuse properly and the silicone rubber & stainless steel top ensure everything stays hot as it covers the top of the infuser and the mug. It's also big enough to not fall into the mug and cleaning it after use is a breeze.
As a drinker of first flush Darjeeling teas from many tea gardens for more than thirty years I choose tea from Giddapahar as my favourite.
The leaf is mostly whole/unbroken in size and is all tip & bud which gives much credit to the care in handling and processing by the people in Giddapahar.
The flavour is floral, broad and complex which changes as the tea cools and there's a very slight astringent finish that stays on the palate for a few seconds. The colour of the liquor is pale yellow.
I would highly recommend this tea to anyone who appreciates the best of teas from Darjeeling, treat yourself before it's gone because it's not easily found.
