Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
With its silky smooth, medium-bodied cup, this is the perfect choice for those Darjeeling aficionados looking for a less robust second flush offering best enjoyed neat. The aroma is redolent with honey and citrus, lending a sweet, crisp aspect that balances well with a warm toastiness in the flavor. Rich stone fruit notes bloom as the tea cools, making this a great choice for iced tea. The finish is smooth and clean.
