Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Lifted notes of Muscat grapes, peach, hint of berries along with woody undertones.
Appearance
Dark Amber
Taste
A lively, medium-bodied cup which feels ample in the mouth and starts with vibrant notes of nectarines and Muscat grapes which envelop the palate, hums along throughout and defines the texture of the liquor.

Delicate notes of stone-fruits interlaced with mild woody accents are discernible towards the middle and around the edges; rendering a rounded feel on the palate. Luscious tart-fruity tones linger on in the aftertaste, making for a sublime experience of Summer Muscatels from Darjeeling.

The only kind of black tea I would drink.

I am not a tea drinker. I bought this for my daughter, the tea drinker. I had to try it out for myself though. I received the package on Friday - yesterday -and am on my 2nd pot. This tea id lovely. From the clear amber gold colour, to the fresh taste, it's worth the money for the experience. What I did not like was the delivery company messing around, telling me they could not find me home. During said times, Amazon delivery found me in. Evri found me in. The Royal mail found me in. This is the only reason I would not place a repeat order.

Perfect, fresh Darjeeling flavor.

Fresh flavor, exactly as advertised, arrived in a reasonable time from India.

Wonderful tea!

Interesting and likeable variation to regular tea.

There is something very satisfying about the muscatel overtones in this tea. Never had it before but have taken quite a liking to it. Do try it.

All the stars!

Fabulous tea. A mouth full of flavor. The body is between medium and heavy. The flavor opens with something woody and ends on peach. Plus others I can't describe. Furthermore, I may have got it too strong and partially washed out the flavor with tannins, so it might be ever better than I thought.
