This lot of tea is almost gone. We're hoping to source a new lot in the future, but there is no guarantee. A fresh and arboreous first flush with the features of a lush forest floor. The cup is leafy, not wooden, light in body, but full in mouthfeel, great finish. Moustached Babbler is a FTGFOP1 leaf grade produced at the Teesta Valley Estate, Darjeeling, India in the spring of 2025.
