After sampling many of Gopaldhara's first flush productions, this was our favourite. It features a high quality clonal leaf with a smooth floral and fruity taste with a gentle crispness in the background. Sourced direct from Gopaldhara tea estate in Darjeeling, located in Mirik Valley and one of the highest tea estates in Darjeeling with gardens totalling 320 hectares.
