Detailed Description
Dry Tea Leaf:
Appearance:This tea is a celebration of purity and precision. Expertly plucked on 1st March, using a clean one bud and two leaf style, each tender leaf is gently rolled on 2nd March to preserve its delicate character. The tea showcases a harmonious blend of greenish and light green hues, a tribute to its natural origins. Plucked on a cloudy, mist-kissed day at 17°C, every sip encapsulates the serene, ethereal ambiance of the highlands, delivering a refreshingly brisk and nuanced flavor profile.
Fragrance: The fragrance unveils a delicate flowery nose interlaced with the crisp freshness of a misty forest.

Fragrance: The liquor exudes a brisk, smooth floral fragrance that captivates with its refreshing, elegantly subtle aroma.
Flavour: Experience a brisk, smooth sip that unfolds with a refined floral essence reminiscent of the lofty Himalayas. Delicate jasmine and subtle citrus notes enhance its complexity, leading to an aftertaste that bursts with the vibrant sweetness of a Kinnow orange. Throughout, an all-encompassing floral aroma envelops the palate, underscored by a gentle hint of pine forest, creating a multi-layered, sensory journey with every cup.
No of infusions: Two infusions brewed at 5 minutes each. Second infusion is smoother with sweet taste.
