Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Uplifted notes of apricot and drupes, accented with a gentle honeyed sweetness
Appearance
Amber
Taste
A medium-bodied, supple cup that opens with bright, fruity notes—led by ripe apricot and nectarine. Gentle zesty undertones and a hint of soft woodiness add freshness and depth.

As it evolves, a mellow sweetness rounds out the cup, lending balance and finesse. The finish is smooth and clean, with a musky trail that lingers softly.

The fresh tea from the garden of Sikkim for a refreshing morning.

This Sikkim Temi Summer Muscatel black tea is reasonably excellent in taste but the flavour is quite mild,however I am satisfied with the overall quality of the tea within a budget

Lovely tea, would recommend

This is a lovely tea, taste perfectly as described. For me it is a little too vegetal in taste (personal preference only!), hence 4 stars. Beautiful leaves and makes beautiful cup!

Tea for connoisseurs

i live in a hill station and my family and i love a good cup of tea the thing is that at first i did not think much of it but then later realised i was not brewing the tea in right proportion and right temperature and that really matters.
This tea is fantastic black and it will help you get away from the routine teas we usually drink.

This year Temi is even better than last year

Muscatels in my opinion are a bit of hit and miss stuff. So each year I wait with baited breath and try teas from multiple estate to settle on my favorites for the year. The Temi surprised me this year. It was one of favorites last year. This year around it’s even better. Definitely a very nice aroma and flavor that lingers long after the cup has nothing left. Here is a tea which is splendid and more than competes with its peers from Darjeeling.
