Detailed Description


Dry Tea Leaf:

Appearance: The hand-plucked AV2 leaves consist predominantly of tender buds, with a few carefully selected single-leaf shoots. This blend of bud-only and bud-with-one-leaf plucking creates a refined structure, richly accented by silvery buds and abundant silver tips, reflecting exceptional quality and meticulous craftsmanship.


Fragrance: The dry tea releases a delicate aroma of Himalayan florals, infused with the freshness of crisp mountain air and the soft, nectar-like sweetness of honeysuckle.


Liquor:

Appearance: Light hues of bright lemon, capturing the very essence of sparkling champagne.


Fragrance: The liquor opens with a vibrant bouquet of tropical florals, seamlessly blended with the crisp, airy freshness of high-altitude Himalayan air, creating a bright, refined cup with a lifted sense of clarity.

Tasting Notes: The sip opens with gentle sweetness and remarkable smoothness, unfolding into delicate floral notes and a subtle hint of watermelon. A lingering nectar-like aftertaste follows, while a symphony of layered, polyphonic flavors reveals refined complexity across a broad, textured mouthfeel that envelops the palate. Expressive and deeply nuanced, it showcases exceptional depth and elegance.

From one of the finest Darjeeling tea gardens, Castleton is renowned for producing hallmark teas that are essential for any connoisseur. This is a rare, limited-edition Silver Needles from Castleton, representing the pinnacle of first flush craftsmanship.
