description

Darjeeling’s well known Goomtee tea estate offers a unique tea with bright and nonconforming flavors. Characteristic flavors from the traditional chinary plants are affected by the changing character of the terroir and climate. The tea is defined by delicate notes of white flowers and raw fruits, seen rarely and only in teas made from older chinary plantings.

The liquor is medium-bodied, slightly brisk and well-rounded. It starts out with bright notes of lemon which fade away quickly to reveal a predominant green flavor similar to raw veggies which defines the flavor profile of this cup. Intermittently, subtle notes of raw tree fruits can be perceived which add more depth to the cup. A crisp green note, similar to cucumber peel, is evident towards the end which lingers in the aftertaste.
