This is very different from the other Nepali teas I have tried. It has an almost herbal flavor. It reminds me of Holy Basil blended with Darjeeling. There is a definite muscatel flavor as the tea cools, and there is a bit of dryness at the end of the sip. The combination of herb and grape notes along with the astringency make me think of sweet vermouth . I’m seeing a tea cocktail in my future….
