Harvested in the summer months from the Himalayan foothills of Darjeeling, India, this rare black tea is cold brewed for 24 hours to preserve its signature muscatel character. The resulting expression is layered with notes of mandarin, ginger, and wood spice, finishing with a touch of dryness and fine tannins that elevate it to a sophisticated dining companion.
Finely sparkling, this is a tea of complexity and grace—grounded in terroir and tradition, yet modern in its delivery. Saicho Darjeeling pairs beautifully with grilled meats or classic lasagne, bringing brightness and poise to richer fare.
Why We Love It:
At Rienne, we believe tea should be more than a beverage—it should be a revelation. Saicho’s Darjeeling expression captures that philosophy with extraordinary finesse. Grown in the misty foothills of the Himalayas, this tea holds the soul of its origin: bright, nuanced, and quietly powerful.
We love the way it lingers—its mandarin and spice notes unfolding with elegant restraint, its gentle sparkle elevating any meal without overpowering. It’s a beautiful choice for those seeking depth without heaviness, and a refined ritual for those moments where presence matters more than pretense.
This is not just tea. This is the art of stillness, bottled.
Our curated expressions are crafted to be experienced with intention. Unlike traditional spirits, their compositions are not designed around alcohol’s structure, and therefore do not follow the same ratios or profiles. Their character reveals itself through mindful preparation — in recipes, pairings, and small rituals that allow aroma, texture, and nuance to unfold.
For inspired serves, we invite you to explore The Pour, a space devoted to elevating the way each expression is enjoyed.
