Grown at 4200 feet, this Indian single estate tea is medium-bodied, pleasantly supple with delicious tart-sweet flavors. Taste akin to Mirabelle plum and nectarines greet the palate gradually giving way to notes of grapefruit with subte musky undertones. Muted oaky accent ends the cup on a distinctive experience of a marvellous Second Flush harvest.
