From What-Cha

A unique new oolong from Darjeeling’s Rohini Tea Estate, it is produced in the very early parts of the second flush when insect activity is at its peak. The insect damage causes the leaf to oxidise prior to picking, resulting in an added sweetness.

The light oxidisation of the tea gives it a light spicy zesty taste reminiscent of a first flush Darjeeling which combines with the sweetness from the insect damage to give the tea a unique sweet and spicy taste.

Sourced direct from Rohini tea estate in Darjeeling.

Sipdown! Plopped all my remaining sample as a tea for two. I got honey, herbs, malt, chamomile in the flavor. Not as strong as it used to be, but I hope I didn’t waste a quality tea. I’m still not a huge fan, but I do think it’s excellent for quality. Maybe I’m being unfair to judge an old tea. I’m happy I was able to finish it.

Flavors: Chamomile
