Glenburn Classic Spring Chinary Black Tea
A medium-bodied orthodox Darjeeling, subtly brisk with light floral notes and sweet, zesty flavors.
description
The beautiful Glenburn estate is not only a palliative for the sore eye but also for the soul. It is one of Darjeeling’s most famous and makes some of the finest teas. This classic cup from its age-old traditional chinary bushes comes with medium strength and is a little brisk. Soothing floral notes take you in and make way for a lively and bright feel of fresh greens. In the middle, bright flavors like those of mandarins and cantaloupes make the cup sweet and zesty while adding more texture and intensity. Light toasty tones of pines linger in the aftertaste.

taste
The liquor is medium-bodied, slightly brisk and starts with light floral tones which however fade away quickly to reveal a fresh, green length, akin to green peas. Sweet, zesty flavors, redolent of mandarin and vibrant notes of cantaloupe come through around the edges and towards the end, rendering a distinct texture and vivacious intensity to the cup. Subtle hints of grilled pine nuts can be picked up in the aftertaste.
