Taste
This spring black tea from Giddapahar opens with bright notes of citrus peel and fresh greens, carried by a clean, lively cup with a smooth, rounded texture. Gentle earthy undertones bring depth and balance to the early vibrancy.
As the liquor develops, cooling vegetal notes reminiscent of cucumber emerge alongside soft herbal nuances and a delicate lemongrass-like spice. The finish is crisp, refreshing, and lingering, capturing the freshness and character of spring in the Kurseong hills.
