Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Fresh greens with notes of white peach and young spring flowers
Appearance
Yellowish-gold
Taste
A light-bodied, pleasantly smooth cup begins with a gentle floral note reminiscent of gardenia, gradually revealing delightful fruity hints of cantaloupe. This progression adds distinct character and crispness to the tea. Subtle vegetal accents are detectable around the edges but fade into a lush citrus finish, creating a memorable experience with Clonal black teas this Spring season.

Consistent and fresh, high quality first flush blend

This is one of my go-to teas. Not as aromatic as some of your single estate Spring teas, but high quality, fresh, and consistent as a blend should be. Lovely tropical fruit character (mangosteen, ripe mango) that especially comes through when cold-brewed.

It is decent

When I brew it for the recommended time, I find it a bit bitter. I brew it for a minute less and I find it good for my taste.

Smooth body but a light tea

I prefer my tea strong but this one though on the weaker side, surprised me. I enjoyed the unique aroma, the light taste and the smooth balance.

Fresh, smooth and flavoursome

Extremely fresh, smoothly textured and full of flavour. I'm not a big Darjeeling drinker but this is one that I always enjoy due to its top to bottom depth of flavour with hints of apple.
