Tasting Notes
From our Chief Tea Taster
Aroma
Fresh greens layered with ripe melon, orchard fruit, and delicate spring blossoms.
Appearance
Bright gold
Taste
A refined spring cup with lifted floral notes, unfolding into layers of fresh plum, ripe cantaloupe, and crisp orchard-fruit brightness. The infusion carries a silky texture balanced by the lively briskness characteristic of Darjeeling’s finest first flush teas.
Honeyed undertones and delicate green nuances lend freshness and depth to the cup, while subtle hints of citrus and soft spice emerge gradually across the palate. Notes of tender greens and fresh fruit create a profile that feels both vibrant and finely structured.
The finish is clean, smooth, and lingering, leaving behind impressions of sweet spring florals and bright fruit, an elegant and expressive reflection of Darjeeling’s high-elevation clonal black teas.
