Thurbo Classic Spring Chinary Black Tea
A brisk Darjeeling cup, smooth and medium-bodied with fresh notes of cantaloupes and greens.
description
A special tea from an iconic Darjeeling estate needs to be lauded. Thurbo’s standing amongst tea aficionados is beyond question and this cup is one of the reasons why. The cup feels smooth and ample with its medium and brisk body. Aromas of melon and raw fruits come along with the steep. These lively notes are pronounced in the liquor and steer away in the middle for subtle and pleasing notes of fresh greens. Ripe flavors of tangerine and candied cherries mingle with these and layer the cup deliciously. Hints of raw guava come around in the aftertaste.

taste
A medium-bodied, brisk cup, flows smoothly and feels ample in the mouth. Vibrant, fruity notes similar to cantaloupe greet the palate and gradually grow big towards the middle. Here, the fruitiness gives way to a nuanced undercurrent of pleasant greens interlaced with delectable flavors of tangerine and candied cherries, which come in around the edges; adding more depth and robust character to the cup. Raw guava-like notes can be picked up in the aftertaste.
