From Teabox

This deluxe first flush China clone blend provides classic Darjeeling character in a confident package. It makes a sweet, malty cup of medium astringency with plenty of personality and strength. This is a nice “good morning” tea or an assertive afternoon pick-me-up. Tea lovers can enjoy their cuppa with milk/sugar/honey. This can be steeped twice as well.

Located in the south Kurseong sub district, the Castleton tea estate in Darjeeling was established by Dr. Charles Graham in 1885. The tea crops cover 170 hectares while the elevation ranges from 915 to 1830 meters. This estate is famous for its unique Black, White and Green teas that are infused with a rose like fragrance and have a distinctive unique muscatel flavour. Castleton Estate was the first tea estate to receive the ISO 9002 certification for producing some of the best Darjeeling Teas every year.

The leaf is really green and silver – if I didn’t know better I would have guessed this was a green or white tea, not a black. Smells faintly of wet earth and flowers.

Flavour is a touch of malt with spices and herbs, and a vegetal tang. Quite nice.
