Description

CASTLETON MUSCATEL BLACK TEA – 2nd FLUSH.

CASTLETON MUSCATEL is one of the finest muscatel teas that we have come across this season. This tea has been made from selective leaves that come from PURE CHINA BUSHES at an altitude of 6200 ft above sea level which is ideal for the MUSCAT FLAVOUR.

When this tea is steeped for 3 mins it gives a very SMOOTH MEDIUM GOLDEN LIQUOR which has a rich fruity aroma. With every sip, you get a very rich fruity flavour and it leaves a ‘twang’ of mint in the pallets. A perfect cup to make your mornings delightful.

DRY LEAVES: Fine sorted medium brown leaves with a hint of green in between.
LIQUOR: A smooth medium golden liquor with a very fruity aroma.
INFUSION: Pleasant coppery with hint of green and the aroma is full of mint texture.

STEEPING INSTRUCTIONS:
Add flat tea spoonful per cup to pot of freshly boiled water (at about 90 degree Celsius). Steep for 3 mins, strain to cup and sip luke warm.

PLEASE NOTE THIS TEA CAN BE STEEPED SEVERAL TIMES FROM THE SAME LEAVES.
