KNOW YOUR TEA
From the illustrious gardens of Giddapahar, nestled at 4864 ft. in Kurseong Valley, comes the last harvest of the year. Beaming with light vegetal notes interlaced with raw fruity and mild woody accents, the lively medium-bodied cup is a fine Autumn harvest. A toasty-woody accent warms through the cup to reveal mild vegetal notes. Notes of unripe tree fruit lace the edges adding depth to the liquor. The lingering aftertaste of light nutty tones creates an unforgettable cup of a fine Autumn Flush!

A lively, medium-bodied cup which beams with scrumptious toasty-woody accents, which gradually grow big as you make your way through the cup and impart a distinct texture to the liquor. Mild vegetal intonations along with frutive notes of unripe tree fruit can be perceived along the edges and towards the back; adding more variety and depth to an otherwise woody experience. Light nutty tones linger on, rendering a rounded feel and distinctive experience of Autumn this season.
