Detailed Description

Dry Tea Leaf:

Appearance:This tea is a celebration of purity and precision. Expertly plucked on 1st March, using a clean one bud and two leaf style, each tender leaf is gently rolled on 2nd March to preserve its delicate character. The tea showcases a harmonious blend of greenish and light green hues, a tribute to its natural origins. Plucked on a cloudy, mist-kissed day at 17°C, every sip encapsulates the serene, ethereal ambiance of the highlands, delivering a refreshingly brisk and nuanced flavor profile.

Fragrance: The fragrance unveils a delicate flowery nose interlaced with the crisp freshness of a misty forest.

Liquor:

Appearance: Brighter shades of sparkling light lemon with hues of Champagne.

Fragrance: The liquor exudes a brisk, smooth floral fragrance that captivates with its refreshing, elegantly subtle aroma.

Flavour: Experience a brisk, smooth sip that unfolds with a refined floral essence reminiscent of the lofty Himalayas. Delicate jasmine and subtle citrus notes enhance its complexity, leading to an aftertaste that bursts with the vibrant sweetness of a Kinnow orange. Throughout, an all-encompassing floral aroma envelops the palate, underscored by a gentle hint of pine forest, creating a multi-layered, sensory journey with every cup.

No of infusions: Two infusions brewed at 5 minutes each. Second infusion is smoother with sweet taste.

Tea Maker: This exquisite tea is a true testament to the artistry and experience of our garden manager, Mr. Rajesh Parekh. His meticulous care and dedication in crafting this brew are evident in every sip, reflecting the passion and expertise that define our garden. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Parekh for making this wonderful tea, a perfect blend of tradition and innovation.
