Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Lifted notes of peony blossom, amaryllis and subtle zesty accents
Appearance
Bright Gold
Taste
Indulge in a light-bodied, immensely smooth cup that bursts with freshness from the very first sip. It opens with a delightful floral aroma reminiscent of peony and amaryllis, gradually revealing richer layers as you savor each moment. Midway through, you'll uncover the succulent essence of muskmelon intertwined with the lively tang of mango, adding depth and excitement to every sip. Towards the end, delicate hints of spring-green emerge, leading to a lush finale of citrus that leaves a lasting impression, elevating your tea-drinking experience to pure delight.

Exceptional first flush tea

Purchased this as part of three First Flush premium teas from 2023 season. Both this and the one from Seeyok garden evoke a subdued sense of sugarcaney sweetness, a taste profile that is exceedingly rare amongst Darjeeeling tea’s and last found only during the 2017-18 season. Exceptional tea. Highly recommended.

Satisfying Brew

Samabeong is one of my favorite afternoon teas. It is as satisfying as an Assam but not as high in caffeine.
