Scents: bouquet of flowers and fruit (orange-blossom, citrus fruit, apricots, peaches, etc.) with the occasional planty accent.

Liquor

Our verdict: This tea is a celebration of zesty notes and citrus. This Singbulli grower has treated us to a Darjeeling with complex and delicate notes whose fragility often makes them difficult to obtain. As delicate as lace, Singbulli has once again impressed us with the quality of its tea harvests.
