Detailed Description
Dry Tea Leaf:
Appearance: The organic first flush leaves are semi-fermented, subtly echoing the qualities of premium oolong teas. Finely plucked with a light green hue and abundant silver tips, they enhance both the tea’s appearance and its signature floral aroma. Crafted with precision, the made tea features the coveted two leaves and a bud—an epitome of excellence in organic picking practices.
Fragrance: The dry leaves exude a bouquet of floral aromas, with notes of Himalayan orchids, geranium, and subtle hints of baked cookies, creating a complex and inviting fragrance.
Liquor:
Appearance: A sparkling light lemon hue, reminiscent of fine champagne.
Fragrance: Fragrances of fresh high mountain flowers are noted in the liquor.
Flavour: This tea embodies smoothness and premium craftsmanship, perfected through precise processing. It begins with a silky start, gradually unfolding into waves of complex flavors. Fragrances of high-mountain wildflowers and orchids emerge, leading to a refined, feel-good astringency—signature to premium first flush teas from the Chinary cultivar. Few gardens produce full-leaf Chinary teas, as most are broken, but Arya stands among the rare exceptions. This tea delivers a symphony of floral notes, balanced astringency, and a sweet, lingering aftertaste that captivates the senses long after each sip.
