Overview
Pairing: breakfast pastries, aged cheese, or dark chocolate
Brimming with flavor and richness, this early 2026 ‘Winter Frost’ Nilgiri black tea, plucked at sunrise on January 2, 2026, is the perfect cup to welcome spring. The aroma is fragrant with sweet corn silk notes, accented by delicate hints of honey and rosemary. The bright amber-gold liquor is fresh and buttery smooth, with a character reminiscent of a first flush Darjeeling. Notes of honey-drizzled corn are complemented by floral undertones, creating a layered and inviting profile. The smooth finish lingers with a pleasing astringency.
