Description

An exceptional first flush Darjeeling with rich floral compexity and a "citrusy" finish.

DRY TEA: Well rolled, tippy Chinary leaves with greenish grey appearance. Fragrant with grassy, floral and spicy notes.

INFUSION: A uniform olive color with a strong fresh nose of sweet white-grapeyness and apricot.

Cup: The bright amber liqor is vivacious with peachy fragrance combined with nutty notes. The cup is brisk,well balanced, smooth and complex with a sweet floral depth. The finish is almost lemony-citrus that is deeply refreshing and satisfying.
