Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Soft fruity with lifted notes of sweet greens and hint of citrus.
Appearance
Deep Gold
Taste
The liquor is medium-bodied, feels ample in the mouth, and begins with delicate notes of fresh greens. These initial notes give way to a core resonating with vibrant raw fruit characteristics, reminiscent of raw mango. A mild sweet flavor lingers in the aftertaste.

A mild cup with a fruity note & a hint of citrus.

Very good cup of Spring produce. A hint of citrus and a very light roast flavor makes this cup a truly enjoyable one.
The service of Teabox is exceptional though!!!

A taste extraordinary

I could go out and buy my favourite cuppa. So I took a peek at teabox. On a whim I ordered Castleton black. The ease of payment, prompt delivery and a free gift too. All these made me appreciate the service.
But the taste of the cuppa was amazing. I thank Teabox for curating flavours that please the tea soul in me.
Love Darjeeling.
