Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Marked by notes of honeysuckle, muskmelon and sweet-grapey undertones.
Appearance
Bright Orange
Taste
A medium-bodied, lively cup with a sweet-flavor profile. Made in traditional black-tea style with full oxidation, it offers a delightful experience with character equaling that of a good Moonlight.

From the very first sip, you'll be greeted by a delightful floral taste, reminiscent of fragrant honeysuckle and tuberose. As you delve deeper into your cup, you'll discover a luscious tropical fruity flavor akin to muskmelon. Subtle hints of honey provide a touch of sweetness, while the finish leaves a satisfying grape-like note.

A gourmet treat this Summer!
