nepal first flush

This beautiful hand crafted small estate tea from the Nepal Himalayas rivals those from the highly acclaimed Darjeeling region. With unopened leaf buds interspersed throughout, this first flush is complex and delicate. The cup color a clear golden yellow and the aroma is floral, slightly sweet with an underlying buttery note. The first sip reveals a touch of the floral nature and white grape astringency usually found in excellent Darjeelings, but with a tender touch of ripe fruit. We hope you will enjoy this graceful addition to our black tea repertoire.

Steep at 212° for 2-3 minutes.
