KNOW YOUR TEA
Our expert master tasters have crafted this batch only from the finest Darjeeling tea. Fresh moonlights sourced from the iconic estates of Darjeeling that are earlier plucked and manufactured with a certain technique in the early morning, allowing the fresh mountain air from the Himalayas to seep in the tea. And the result, incredibly soft white silvery buds with downy hair that makes for an immensely aromatic cup. Notes of Asiatic lilies and fuchsia peonies with tropical fruity undertones hum for a long duration of the cup. Around the middle, white peaches and green mangoes circle with fresh green hints towards the end. Add ice for a second steep to experience flavors of raw mangoes. A memorable experience of the First flush 2021 Darjeeling tea!

taste
An immensely aromatic, smooth cup offering a flowery-sweet signature of Asiatic lilies and fuchsia peonies joined with delectable tropical fruity undertones. The floral notes are long and hum along throughout the length, which mingles with fruity resonances of delectable white peach and green mango around the middle and the back rendering a rich, vivacious texture to the cup. Subte fresh-green accents shore up towards the end which however ebb to finish on slightly sweet, grape-like flavors, making for a sublime finish. The second steep recommended at 4 minutes is equally enjoyable, beams with radiant flavors of raw mango and is recommended with ice for an enthralling experience.
