“Great tea. Does remind me of a Darjeeling Black. Bit of smoke, honey, and a bit fruity. Need to drink it neat or you will loose the flavor. No aftertaste, nice and clean.Bit dry on the tounge but...” Read full tasting note
“I love this tea! Narcissism http://www.narcissismhelp.com/ Steepster is the best!” Read full tasting note
“A nice smoky oolong with a bit of fruitiness. Highly oxidized, it’s almost like a light black tea.” Read full tasting note
“The last of this. Tried it in a gaiwan just because I could and it really brings out the sweet honey scent, also a hint of smoky. Tastes light (not in flavor but in type of flavor) and very nice.” Read full tasting note

Description

Grown high in the pristine mountain air of the Himalayans, this remarkable semi-fermented Nepal tea combines the characteristics of a high-grown Darjeeling and a soulful Oolong. The oxidation process of this entirely handmade Oolong has been carefully monitored by the estate manager and stopped at about 40%, just at the peak of its aromatic bouquet.

This beautiful plucking boasts a high percentage of unopened leaf buds and silvery tips. The infusion is a golden amber cup with a flowery, fruity aroma that delivers clean, smooth flavor with natural sweetness and a wonderful, satisfying aftertaste. A quiet, well-rounded tea with many nuances!
