Darjeeling, Arya Clonal Exclusive Organic Autumn Flush Black Tea

This Autumn Flush Darjeeling is an absolutely incredible tea and one of Arya Tea Estate's prized offerings. It has many of the same characteristics of the finest second flush Darjeelings and would be a good substitute. It is very rare and hard to come by. The dry leaves of this exquisitely crafted autumn flush tea are quite bold, large and elongated—very attractive in appearance. Well rolled and twisted they are accompanied by an abundance of lustrous silver and gold tips. This is very obviously a well made tea with definite bloom. Overall, the leaves are a dark purplish color with a mixture of both light and dark brown as well as some copper and green. The aroma is overwhelmingly sweet and fruity with hints of chocolate and Muscat grapes. The infused leaf is unusually large and leafy with a heady muscatel aroma that is most characteristic of a Second Flush. The cup is bright and lively, full bodied and buttery, sweet and fruity. This is definitely a tea to remember! Ingredients: Artis
