Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma
Bright muscat grape and juicy peach flavours unfold over honeyed sweetness, fresh forest nuances, and a lingering musky finish.
Appearance
Dark amber
Taste
A lively, well-rounded cup that opens with vibrant muscat grape and ripe peach flavours, complemented by honeyed sweetness and gentle woody nuances. As the liquor evolves, hints of fresh forest and a distinctive musky character emerge, adding depth and complexity without overshadowing its bright fruit profile. Silky and refined on the palate, the tea carries a smooth, balanced texture that enhances its layered flavours. The finish is long and elegant, leaving behind lingering muscat, woody sweetness, and delicate musky notes that invite another sip.
