Tasting Notes

Aroma
Delicate vegetal notes along with hints of cantaloupe and orchids

Bright gold
Taste
Elegant and light-bodied, this cup embodies the signature finesse of Okayti’s spring harvest.

It opens with a crisp vegetal note—reminiscent of tender spring greens—then gracefully unfolds into mellow, juicy hints of cantaloupe at the heart. Silken floral whispers of white orchids drift across the palate, while a subtle undercurrent of raw mango lingers through the finish.

Smooth, refined, and delightfully refreshing, this tea captures the essence of Darjeeling craftsmanship in full bloom.

Better than ok

I think this tea getters more favorable the longer it has been open. I’m drinking it right now and I love the flavor. It is a subtle Darjeeling but better than ok in my opinion. I drink a lot of 1st flush Darjeeling. I’ve also been very happy with the teas (1st flush Darjeeling) 😊
