An expensive yet high quality Darjeeling white tea, which I’ve ordered just 2kg, to give people the opportunity to try a 2019 Darjeeling white very early in the year. As a seasonal tea, no more will be ordered until 2020.
A stunning white tea produced from AV2, Darjeeling’s premier cultivar. It has a light smooth floral taste with an incredible lingering aftertaste.
Sourced direct from Rohini tea estate in Darjeeling.
