We picked up this batch of Darjeeling first flush 2020 from Puttabong tea estate just before the pandemic shut things down. We had to wait a good two months before the tea could be finally shipped out of India. It is finally here, and we hope it will bring you joy and hope in these otherwise challenging times.
(Please make sure when you read the reviews to confirm the production year. We have retained reviews from previous years because the overall character of the tea from a particular garden chosen by us remains the same. The reviews are helpful to compare the crop from past years.)
The 2020 first flush from Puttabong is an elegant Darjeeling with characteristic peach and light floral notes. The delicate body yields a delightfully fruity flavor with a crisp finish. Leaves you with a soft sparkle.
DRY LEAF: Beautiful soft wiry leaves, with abundant tips and of green apples and pepper.
INFUSED LEAF: Has a strong nose of juicy peach and gardenia.
CUP: Light golden liquor with a pleasant aroma of peach and green apples. On the palate it is bright with peach notes and a bite that is balanced. The sweet lingering aftertaste is memorable.
