As a newcomer to loose leaf Darjeeling , I was very impressed. This turned out to be a very flowery and complicated cup indeed! I definitely noticed the classic muscatel flavors and flowery aroma that are usually associated with a good Darjeeling tea. This served as a good introduction to the ‘champagne of teas’. Upton describes this blend as, “A blend of select lots of Darjeeling teas produced without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. The golden liquor has a delicate floral aroma and a mildly fruity flavor. The cup is smooth, and the finish is pleasingly pungent.”
