This tea. Oh my, this tea. I love it. I’ve sampled many Nepali teas this year, and this one has been my hands down favorite. It’s delicate but intense, and there’s so much going on with the various flavors that I feel like I’ve never done a good job describing it. Can I just say that it’s awesome? I love the rose-y floral notes mixed with the toastiness. There’s a touch of something spicy (like the thought of a hint of cracked pepper), a lemon like citrus note, the fruity muscatel flavor, and the pleasantly sharp wine-like finish.
Love this one.
hmmm i’ll have to give this one a shot when i place my sot order.
I like this too
@Sil – Yay! I need to place my own sot order soon.
Glad to hear y’all enjoyed it! The first time I had this tea was about 8 years ago! It really opened my eyes to how a Nepalese tea can be similar to a Darjeeling and yet different. Someday when I open my tea shop I will devote a shelf to this great country!
