Overview
Pairing: breakfast pastries, aged cheese, or dark chocolate
Established in 1869, the Seeyok Estate rests at elevations ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 feet, near the border with Nepal. Outstanding muscatel notes, present in both the fragrance and the smooth, rich cup, set the tone in this 2025 second flush Darjeeling offering. With a light sprinkling of golden tips, the attractive, chocolate-brown leaves yield a dark amber liquor imbued with a stone fruit sweetness that accentuates hints of spice and a nutty, toasty whisper. The finish lingers with a light, sweet quality that harmonizes perfectly with a crisp, dry wine-like nuance at the very end.
