ORGANOLEPTICS
Dry tea leaves have a sweet, fruity, nutty aroma. There are wildflowers, exotic fruits, and honey. Warmed tea leaves have discreet floral, seed, and woody notes. The aroma evokes associations of childhood, the end of spring turning into summer, and meadow flowers. The rinsed tea leaf reveals fruity, dried fruits, tobacco, and marmalade motifs.
The tea produces a beautiful, clean, honey-colored infusion. The taste of the tea is sweet, fragrant, soft, and rich, with floral, honey notes, and fruity nuances. The tea leaves a strong, long-lasting, sweet aftertaste with a slight astringent sensation on the palate and tip of the tongue. With longer infusion, tea can produce a strong, woody, nutty taste with astringency and bitterness, leaving an even more strong aftertaste. Darjeeling tea is one of the most unique tea types in the world. Due to many factors, such as high altitude, a unique and ideal climate for cultivation and production, as well as special production technology, they create a unique, inimitable aroma and taste!
