This Indonesian tea is grown near Gunung Dempo (Mount Dempo), a large volcano located south of Medan, the capital of Sumatra. The volcanic soil and high humidity help give this tea its distinctive taste and perfumed aroma. Sandalwood predominates over a lightly malty, somewhat astringent body, ending with just a hint of fruit.

 What we’re doing:

• 1 heaping teaspoon (about 3 grams) of Gunung Dempo per 6-8 oz serving
• Heat fresh water to 212ºF (boil)
• Steep 3-5 minutes

 What we’re tasting:

• Spice – Sandalwood, white pepper
• Sweet – Malt, tropical fruit
