Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Marked by notes of cantaloupe, wintergreens with uplifting tones of spring sap.
Appearance
Bright Orange
Taste
A lively, well-rounded cup which feels mellow on your palate and starts with a tropical-fruity character, evocative of cantaloupe and citrus fruits which gradually gain prominence as you make your way through the cup.

Vibrant notes of winter-greens entwined with soft-floral accents are discernible towards the middle which gradually ebb to finish on sweet fruity tonality, which lingers on making for a sublime experience of winter-frost teas from the Blue Hills.

A great tea

This is one of India’s great teas, always reliably flavourful. Bright and rounded, slightly astringent, refreshing and revitalising.

A Charming and Seductive Tea

This tea was wonderful surprise since i didn't know black tea from Nilgiri. A very nice and pleasant tea, - fruity and fresh, but also sweet and full in a quiet way. For others, who maybe don't know this region, - this tea is a 'must try' :-)
Greetings to all from Copenhagen ... BC

first flush teas and oolongs

This tea reminds me of some of the Taiwanese black teas I've had, in particular the subtle honey and fruit notes that suggest a black/oolong hybrid. It's delicious and perfect for those times when an Assam or Ceylon tea might be too strong.
