description

A mellow black tea from the mist covered hills of Sonada makes for an impressive Darjeeling. This season’s offering from Oaks estate is an arresting light gold liquored chinary. Like most seed-grown chinary teas of the season, it tastes ‘green’ but feels softer, earthier, and gentler on the palate. Perfect for people who enjoy light teas.

Freshest teas that make a delicious cup
