$7.82 / 25 gms paper box

This is an exquisite Darjeeling fresh herbaceous oolong tea 2024, made from old chinary clones at 5500 – 7000 feet of Gopaldhara Tea Estate. This is one of the finest quality first flush tea and these bushes are fresh out of hibernation from a prolonged winter. To make these kinds of teas we mostly preferred sun-drying and hand oxidation. So, the quantity of this type of rare lots is always very less.

The dried greenish leaves are brewed into a yellow cup that gives an amazingly clean cup with fresh spring flavour. You can quickly feel the taste was super floral and creamy with notes of orchids in each sip. This Herbaceous Oolong Tea 2024 is slightly vegetal but in a sweet, almost herbaceous but there was no bitterness or astringency at all. The mouth feel was somewhat thick with a clean and refreshing finish.
