This first flush Darjeeling is made in the lighter style of production. I disagree with what Orange Pekoe states, that the lighter colored leaves is a result of the time of the year, because it is actually a result of how long the leaves are left to oxidize for.
It is a good soft tea though. Subtle flavors of mango and other tropical fruits, with a backing of green bell peppers, and some slight peppercorns.
A very green cup of tea, but still worth drinking.
