Tasting Notes
From our Chief Tea Taster
Aroma
A sweet floral bouquet opens the cup, lifted by notes of honey and gentle nuttiness, with a fresh green character that lends depth and vibrancy.
Appearance
Dark amber
Taste
The cup arrives with quiet confidence, opening on luminous stone-fruit notes that lend a gentle, nectar-like sweetness without ever overwhelming the palate. A lively brightness carries the liquor forward, giving it energy and lift, before gradually yielding to a subtle musky depth that unfolds with remarkable restraint. Soft vegetal nuances weave seamlessly through the cup, adding freshness and structure while allowing the fruit to linger gracefully.
Medium-bodied with a smooth, rounded texture, the tea strikes an effortless balance between vibrancy and composure. Rather than revealing everything at once, it evolves sip after sip, each infusion uncovering new layers of nuance. The finish is long, clean, and delicately persistent - a refined expression of a classic Darjeeling summer harvest that rewards slow, attentive drinking.
