$11.18 / 25 gms paper box
This is a limited edition and one of the best First Flush High Mountain Oolong Tea 2024 from Darjeeling, approximately 16 kgs from the single invoice. It is plucked from an obscure area of Rohini Tea Estate which is completely an untouched paradise. The leaves are finely plucked two leave and a bud. The tea is made by AV2 clone which is very light on the palate and should not be mistaken as white tea as it has been oxidized several times by hand without any machinery work involved.
This best first flush tea 2024 tastes like a fresh lively cup with a creamy and silky texture. The flavour is mouthful and you can feel the notes of vanilla, banana, and apple with the finish of mango and honey sweet. The aftertaste is pleasant and distinct. This first flush tea is very smooth to drink without astringency and can be brewed multiple times. So, 2.5 grams of Tea brewed for a single cup should at least give you 4 cups. Adjust the brewing time of each cup depending on your experience.
Great aroma from tea leaves!
I definitely purchase for the next year as well!
