Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Teabox chief tea taster

Aroma

Fresh green leafiness and tender spring shoots, layered with bright citrus zest and a gentle touch of wildflowers.

Appearance

Golden-yellow

Taste

A poised, medium-bodied cup that captures the freshness of early spring with clarity and finesse. It opens on vivid green, forest-like notes, evoking tender shoots and moist undergrowth, before brightening into a lively citrus lift reminiscent of lemon zest and soft lemonade. The mid-palate reveals a gentle warmth, layered with fleeting wildflower nuances and a touch of natural sweetness. The finish is clean, lingering with hints of citrus and a light honeyed softness, leaving behind a quietly expressive, well-rounded cup.

YOU ASKED, WE ANSWERED

What is Spring Chinary Black Tea?

Spring Chinary Black Tea is crafted from the Camellia sinensis var. sinensis plant, commonly known as the Chinary tea bush. After a winter dormancy from December to February, the young spring leaves-rich in sap-are harvested between March and May, giving the tea its signature freshness and layered complexity.

How does this tea differ from other Darjeeling black teas?

This tea is crafted from heritage Chinary bushes, offering a distinctly fresh and lively cup with delicate floral and fruity notes. Its spring harvest ensures a bright, crisp character that sets it apart from later seasonal flushes.

What makes spring flush teas special?

Spring flush teas are the first harvest after the plant's winter dormancy, making them highly prized for their freshness, complexity, and delicate flavors. The tender leaves are rich in natural sap, resulting in a refined and aromatic cup.

How should I steep this tea?

1. Heat water to 185°F-194°F (85°C-90°C).
2. Add the recommended amount of tea leaves to a teapot or infuser.
3. Pour hot water over the leaves.
4. Steep for 4-5 minutes.
5. Strain and enjoy.

You can adjust steeping time to explore different flavor nuances.

How should I store this tea?

1. Keep in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
2. Store in a cool, dark place, away from heat and sunlight.
3. Avoid strong odors to preserve its delicate aroma.

More than 20 years a customer!

I have been drinking the tea from this garden for years, and have never once been disappointed. Brewing a cup, opening the top of the pot to savor the unique scent that says Darjeeling. That’s why when the 1st flush teas become available, my first purchase is always Jungpana!

Fresh

As usual, great flavor and “fresh”.

Great!

Loved the packaging and before time delivery. Quality of the tea was obviously as expected.

My favorite estate

It's one of my favorite estates among all darjeeling growers. I know a new harvest is arriving soon but with teabox's good quality control and trust-worthy storage, I am happy to buy 2021 harvest at discouted price for everyday consumption.

Truly exception cup of Tea

Absolute amazed with this subtle, almost round bodied cup of tea with a mind blowing hint of sweet fruit notes. Highly recommended. The service of teabox is exceptional though!!!. Liked it very much. I have tried different cups from this garden from different seasons, and never I was let down. Thumbs UP!

Lovely, simple tea

Lovely smooth taste. I am not use to such light black teas and it personally reminded me more of a green tea due to that fact.
A simple flavour and on the weaker side which means I can easily enjoy several cups.

A Lighter tea, acuratly described

In its dry state, the tea is leafy and has a green color. After steeping, it is a light honey color, which is not surprising as the tea's description states "rose and honey" I usually have to add honey to most teas to cut bitterness, but as this one is light with a slight taste of honey, I did not have to add more. A good tea.
Reviewed as part of theTeabox subscription program.

Strong

Good aroma and taste, slightly bitter if left alone but does have a very good relationship with cream and sugar (with in reason). I am more apt to add cream and sugar to darker blacks, or more flavorful steeps that might feel overpowering alone after half a cup.

My favorite from the box

I love black teas they are my favorite and my go to drink. This one is fantastic I love the golden color and the smell is just refreshing. I can never drink black tea by itself though. I had to sweeten it just a tiny bit just to cut the bitterness before you swallow.

Interesting Black

Very interesting black tea. Dry leaves smell like seaweed. Aroma is fainter when steeped. After steeping, leaves look greenish. Seems more like a green tea to me, since I'm used to the strong, dark, English breakfast blends when I usually drink black tea. This tea has a grassy, spicy, veggie palette.
