description

This year we were drawn to the subtlety of Castleton’s white tea. A late-harvest tea, it has the characteristic floral flavor that's expected from all top-of-the-line Darjeeling whites. Two notes – jasmine and geranium – come together perfectly, and deliver a superlative white tea experience. You can steep this cup twice and relish the delight one more time.

taste

The liquor is predominantly sweet, smooth coupled with a brightness which commands your attention right from the start. A pleasant floral length, characterised by white flowers - mainly geranium and jasmine defines the aromatic profile of the cup. There is a nuanced undercurrent of sweet greens which comes in around the edges and rounds up the cup beautifully. Taking up the experience a notch higher is the lingering aftertaste of rose. The second steep is just as flavorful.
