Spring Darjeeling

£12.00

TASTING NOTES: Floral, ginger, lemon zest

From the very first picking of 2023, this is a delicate tea, as fragile as the leaves of the Chinese varietals used to make it.  It's produced by a small, carefully tended family-owned garden called Giddapahar located at an altitude of 1500m. 

This tea is a beautiful expression of the high altitude conditions (1500m) that the garden enjoys, combined with the skill of the tea makers. It brews a golden colour and combines mellow floral notes with a hint of ginger and lemon zest. 

Harvest: April 2024

Giddapahar First Flush Tea

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.
