Goomtee Special Spring Chinary Black Tea
A rare Darjeeling cup, brisk and medium-bodied, with notes of raw fruits and delicious sweetness of muskmelons.
description
This First Flush cup from one of Darjeeling’s sought out estates is truly a palate pleaser. Its bright aromas hit you right from the start and as you sip you’ll find the liquor quite brisk and has a medium strength that lets the flavors come around beautifully. Notes of unripe fruits softly greet the palate giving way to more bolder and luscious sweetness like that of muskmelons. It lends a delightful feel to the cup and it gains more with gentle vegetal hints around the edges. The finish is floral with nuances of white orchids and the aftertaste quite crisp with hints of raw papaya.

A medium-bodied, brisk cup tipped with raw-fruity and sweet green flavors. It starts out with light notes of unripe tree fruit which gradually subside to reveal a heart resonating with delectable, sweet flavors akin to muskmelon, rendering a pleasant texture to the liquor. Subtle vegetal undercurrents shore up around the edges, which however ebb to finish on gentle floral accents, similar to white orchids. A crisp note of green papaya lingers in the aftertaste, making for a sublime experience.
