Description

A classic summer tea from Darjeeling with balanced notes of charred greens and dried figs.

Tasting Notes
Our Darjeeling Premium First Flush Black tea has a simple and unassuming character which is ideal on its own. The dry leaves have an aroma of lillies in the attack, followed by hints of dried figs and fresh greens in the release. Indulge in a smooth liquor that is crisp in the beginning and turns mellow in the flow. It has an immensely complex character with balanced notes of charred greens and dried figs, that gives its the reputation of a classic Darjeeling spring tea.
