The Gopaldhara Estate sits at 7,000 feet in the foothills of the Himalayas and holds the distinction of being the highest tea-growing elevation in Darjeeling. This exquisite 2025 first flush selection offers a pronounced sweetness in both aroma and flavor, enhancing its fruity character. Fragrant with hints of brown sugar and a nuance of tropical pineapple, the amber-gold cup lights up the palate with juicy notes of peach, accented by touches of honey and a whisper of spice. The sweetness lingers into a silky smooth finish.
