2020 RELEASE UPDATE: Despite the disruptions due to the global pandemic we were able to secure a great batch of Arya Ruby second flush 2020. Ruby has been a popular tea with our Darjeeling fans and we are glad to bring it back. This tea lives up to its excellent reputation and will please your palate.
An exceptional Darjeeling second flush (summer) tea from the highly regarded Arya Tea Estate. The flavors in this organic Darjeeling tea are in perfect balance and the satisfying aftertaste lingers long after the cup is over. If you are looking for that famed Darjeeling “muscatel” flavor, Ruby delivers.
DRY LEAF: Long and wiry with golden tips, the dry leaf has aromas of chocolate, almond and white pepper.
WET LEAF: The AV2* leaves explode giving off a nose of rose, almond, and cacao.
CUP: Well rounded with notes of apricots, plum and almonds. A lingering sweetness in the aftertaste is delightful.
Fans of Oriental Beauty will love this tea!
*A large leaf cultivar grown in Darjeeling that produces a fragrant cup with ample body.
