Dharmsala Tea Company (Mann Estate)

— Color of liquor: Walnut brown

— Aroma: Petrichor; wet rocks

— Flavors: Mineral; petrichor; wet rocks; astringent

There is a strong mineral/petrichor/wet rocks flavor, with an astringency that doesn’t cross over into bitterness – exactly what I expect and hope for in a Kangra tea. The leaves in the package are broken (unusual for an orthodox tea) and lighter in weight than I expected. This is an excellent example of a Kangra black tea that I expect to drink regularly and will re-order when my stock runs out.
