Darjeeling 2nd Flush, Castleton Estate di In Pursuit of Tea | Teatico
Panoramica
This medium-bodied black tea is full of surprises: from aromas of cinnamon sugar and melon, to flavors of squash and baking spice, its lightness conceals a delightful complexity. Produced on the renowned Castleton Estate from seed-propagated, classic china bush plants, this lot (DJ 161) offers an accessible taste of the region’s history. Richly fragrant and dynamically flavorful, Darjeelings are jewels of the black tea category. Plucked from the foothills of the Himalayas in mid-spring—a few weeks after first flush harvest—the small leaves are rolled, fully oxidized and baked before a careful final sorting by hand.
