Saakya Red Wine Black Tea | Darjeeling Grape Black Tea | 50g

Saakya Red Wine Black Tea is a luxurious masterpiece that captivates with its intoxicating aroma and rich layered flavour. The initial grapey fragrance, reminiscent of sun-kissed vineyards, is delicately complemented by a hint of molasses — adding a caramel-like sweetness that makes this red wine black tea utterly unique. On the palate, its velvety smoothness and subtle astringency create a harmonious balance of sweetness and refinement. Handcrafted by Sanjay Bajla — Kalimpong’s certified tea sommelier and founder of boutique An Orange Leaf — this red wine black tea transforms every cup into a moment of pure indulgence.

Darjeeling Black Tea is one of the most coveted teas in the world — its muscatel character, floral notes and complex flavour profile have earned it the nickname “the Champagne of teas.” When this extraordinary tea base is combined with the rich sweetness of black grapes, the result is something that genuinely evokes the warmth and depth of a fine red wine — without any alcohol.

The grape infusion adds fruity sweetness and tannin depth that mirrors the structure of wine, while the natural muscatel character of Darjeeling black tea provides the floral backbone. The hint of molasses brings a warm caramel-like finish that rounds the cup beautifully. This red wine black tea is perfect for those who appreciate complexity and depth in their cup.

Red wine black tea is extraordinarily versatile — here are the best ways to experience it:

Hot — Black: Brew without milk first to fully appreciate the grape and molasses character. The muscatel notes of Darjeeling unfold beautifully in a clean black cup — complex, warming and deeply satisfying.

Hot — With Milk: Add a splash of full-fat milk for a richer, more indulgent experience. The grape sweetness mellows beautifully with milk, creating something reminiscent of a warm dessert in a cup.

Iced Tea: Brew double strength, pour over ice and add a slice of orange or a squeeze of lemon. The grape notes become bright and refreshing — one of the most elegant iced teas you will ever experience.

Evening Wind-Down: This red wine black tea is perfectly suited to the evening — brew a strong cup without milk, sit quietly and let the warming grape depth dissolve the tension of the day.
