“This is probably the first green tea from India for me. I got it from Skysamurai through the Discovery Teabox and it was actually sold by Yatra Tea, but I am pretty sure it’s the same tea and I...” Read full tasting note

Description

Kangra District is an historic tea-growing region in the Himalayan foothills of NW India. It has been well-known for over a century for its China bushes and green teas, much exported to the Middle East. After a long recession favoring India’s more popular tea regions, Kangra is making a quiet comeback. Teas from the Wah estate are hand rolled and pan fried giving them a distinct taste, when compared with other teas produced in the region. The flavor is deep, rich, smoky, but not astringent, so you can still taste the fresh, bright vegetal flavor. Makes for a perfect afternoon tea with a good book.
