description
If you’ve got to choose one First Flush chinary specialty this year, let it be this. Castleton’s reputation is upheld and surpassed with this full-bodied and balanced cup. Immediately luring you with its brisk, fruity start the liquor resounds with bright and lively flavors of sweet greens which stay on till the end. Delightful citrusy notes round up the edges and the light briskness of the woody tones in the end. The aftertaste is quite unforgettable with a rare and arresting richness of green pistachios.
