Giddapahar Exotic Darjeeling First Flush Black Tea

Giddapahar Exotic Darjeeling First Flush Black Tea

A sweet vegetal profile reminds you green peas with notes of yellow flower that finishes off on the note of raw guava. A bright and brisk liquor that leave behind a fresh herb smell in the infusion, is golden and tastes of orchids, citrus and berry. There isn't much of a vegetal flavour to this tea but a hint of sweet greens that complements the fruitiness.
