Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Light musky with notes of nectarine and faint nutty accents
Appearance
Bright Amber
Taste
A pleasantly supple, medium-bodied cup which feels ample in the mouth and starts with delightful stone-fruity flavors, evocative of ripe apricot entwined with hints of dried drupes which envelop the palate and hum along throughout the length and defines the texture of the liquor.

Mild nutty notes are discernible around the edges; rendering a well-rounded feel on the palate. Luscious tart-fruity tones along with light musky accents linger on in the aftertaste, making for a distinguished experience of Summer Muscatels from the verdant hills.

The only kind of black tea I would drink.

I am not a tea drinker. I bought this for my daughter, the tea drinker. I had to try it out for myself though. I received the package on Friday - yesterday -and am on my 2nd pot. This tea id lovely. From the clear amber gold colour, to the fresh taste, it's worth the money for the experience. What I did not like was the delivery company messing around, telling me they could not find me home. During said times, Amazon delivery found me in. Evri found me in. The Royal mail found me in. This is the only reason I would not place a repeat order.

Perfect, fresh Darjeeling flavor.

Fresh flavor, exactly as advertised, arrived in a reasonable time from India.

Interesting and likeable variation to regular tea.

There is something very satisfying about the muscatel overtones in this tea. Never had it before but have taken quite a liking to it. Do try it.

All the stars!

Fabulous tea. A mouth full of flavor. The body is between medium and heavy. The flavor opens with something woody and ends on peach. Plus others I can't describe. Furthermore, I may have got it too strong and partially washed out the flavor with tannins, so it might be ever better than I thought.
