Makaibari SFTGFOP1 Organic - Biodynamic Darjeeling Tea NZ

From the legendary Makaibari Estate founded in 1859, this biodynamically cultivated Darjeeling black tea is celebrated for its soft, fruity complexity. This second flush tea reveals the estate's commitment to sustainable practices, producing a sophisticated cup brimming with muscatel richness, floral top notes, and a gentle peach finish. The dark leaves, tipped with silver, yield a vibrant amber-red liquor with a soft yet complex mouthfeel.

The FTGFOP1 (s) grade—(S) stands for Special, making the full grade SFTGFOP1, which translates to “Special Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe One”. This indicates:

Special: A step above FTGFOP grades—exceptionally limited, top-tier selections
Finest Tippy: A high-quality pluck with abundant golden-tipped buds selected during the peak of the second flush season for superior quality
Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe: Whole-leaf black tea with floral character and golden tips
1 (One): Signifies the very best within that grade—not just fine, but the top of the top

Rich in antioxidants, this tea supports overall wellbeing and is best enjoyed without milk or sweetener, from morning through early afternoon, when its flavour can truly shine.
