A pleasant blend with a tea from Darjeeling and a second tea from Nilgiri. This mixture has large and long twisted leaves with green tips. A perfect afternoon tea around a praline pastry but also wonderful with a white meat.

A sample that came in my recent DF order! This tea is quite tasty. Very little to no astringency with a clean flavour that isn’t too intense/bold. There is a slight coppery taste, but it mostly hides in the background and adds some complexity.
