Detailed Description

Dry Tea Leaf:

Appearance:This tea is a celebration of purity and craftsmanship. Expertly plucked using the meticulous one-bud, two-leaf style, each tender leaf was gently rolled to preserve its delicate essence. The leaves display a harmonious interplay of greenish and light green hues, accented by an abundance of silver tips that enhance the tea’s signature floral and refined character. Plucked and crafted under the veil of a moonlit, cloud-kissed night, every sip captures the serene, ethereal spirit of the highlands—offering a refreshingly brisk, nuanced, and lingering flavor experience

Flavour: This tea offers a pleasing, full-bodied mouthfeel that envelops the palate with invigorating freshness, awakening the senses. The initial notes of wild nuts unfold smoothly, gradually fading into a symphony of delicate high-mountain florals that linger elegantly for hours after each sip.

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