Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Marked by muscat grape notes, hints of sweet honey, and light floral undertones
Appearance
Bright Amber
Taste
A smooth, full-bodied cup with a velvety texture and layered complexity.

The first sip unveils the classic muscatel character—grapey and rich—balanced by the mellow sweetness of ripe stone fruits.

As it cools, the liquor deepens, revealing hints of honey and a whisper of citrus zest. A well-rounded astringency lends structure, leading to a long, clean finish with lingering musky-sweet and floral notes. A treat for the discerning palate!

Good Treat for a Tea enthusiast

First of all it’s worth the price and has awesome flavour profile to it. The signature Muscatel notes and then the Fruity and Sweet flavours hit your tongue. There is a distinct sweetness that you’ll notice as you savour your tea.

Well balanced cup of Darjeeling Tea for all the Darjeeling and Muscatel fans. Loved it in every sip.

Between spring and summer

Tasty tea. If you are looking for a slightly lighter, greener taste then a summer Darjeeling then this one is your tea.
