A sun-drenched Second Flush black tea defined by an abundance of fuzzy golden tips, a visual hallmark of exceptional quality and concentrated sweetness. Harvested from a small, local family-tended garden in the misty Darjeeling hills, this whole-leaf masterpiece offers a contemplative journey through notes of dry raspberry, malty sugarcane, and the delicate perfume of pink rose.
