A truly classic tea from one of Darjeeling's most famous estates, Lopchu. This chinary cup’s smokiness is unique and memorable, and comes with a kind of subtle sweetness that makes it all the more special. You can spend many quiet mornings rolling your tongue over the mellow flavors and nuances of this surreal cup.

taste
A light-bodied, lively cup with pronounced notes of burnt wood and a suave smokiness enveloping the palate completely from the first sip. These flavours define the character of the cup, interrupted briefly by a mild sweetness of green apples complemented by a furtive marine note which comes through at the end. A sweet nuttiness comes through in the aftertaste.
