Description
The plantation is located in the Mirik valley, within a tea estate that reaches an altitude of over 2,400 metres. After the tea plant's winter dormancy, tea leaves harvested in the spring have a high active ingredient content and reveal remarkably complex aromas.
This first flush Darjeeling reveals zesty, floral and toasted notes, which develop against a full-bodied texture. A highly elegant tea.
