Spring Darjeeling (First Flush Black Tea), 40g

As a drinker of first flush Darjeeling teas from many tea gardens for more than thirty years I choose tea from Giddapahar as my favourite.

The leaf is mostly whole/unbroken in size and is all tip & bud which gives much credit to the care in handling and processing by the people in Giddapahar.

The flavour is floral, broad and complex which changes as the tea cools and there's a very slight astringent finish that stays on the palate for a few seconds. The colour of the liquor is pale yellow.

I would highly recommend this tea to anyone who appreciates the best of teas from Darjeeling, treat yourself before it's gone because it's not easily found.
