Makaibari - Darjeeling high grade tea

Rolling imparts leaf style and catalyses fermentation. Great care is given in rolling the leaves so as to ensure high percentages of the leaf grade, and not to damage the delicate leaves. Whole leaf teas fetch the higher prices as opposed to broken leaf teas, which are normally used in tea bags.
