Un luminoso Darjeeling di prima fioritura, con energia fresca e fiori stratificati. Raccolto a mano da cespugli di tè nero cinese d'epoca, questo raro micro-lotto rivela note di giglio, orchidea e uva, modellate dai venti freschi dell'Himalaya.
Steeped this for three minutes and the cup turned a soft pale gold with that unmistakable Himalayan brightness. The grape note is subtle but real, and the orchid aroma lingers in the empty mug long after the last sip.
The floral layers hit you right away—lily and orchid unfolding sip after sip, with that grape note lingering softly at the end. I brewed it for three minutes and got a cup that felt almost weightless, perfect for a quiet afternoon. Shipping was fast, and the leaves looked beautifully intact.
The liquor is so bright and clean, almost like spring water with a delicate floral perfume that lingers long after each sip. Those heirloom Black China bushes really do deliver a distinct grape-like sweetness I've never found in cheaper Darjeelings.
