This world class tea garden bestows upon us this heavenly clonal First Flush delight. This lot, composed of large leaves and curled buds, is typical of modern aesthetics. It’s light and spacious liquor ranges from scents of herbs and flowers (wild spring flowers) to supple notes of peach and muscatel. A perfect example of pure AV2 cultivar and the glory of young tea plants in the Himalayan soil.

I think I’ve chosen the right tea in the database for this note. This is my second steep and it’s creamy and hay-like. I reminds me a little bit of Butiki’s White Rhino.
First steep 3 minutes
Second steep 4 minutes
Thanks for sharing VariaTEA :)
I’m glad you liked it! I was surprised I liked it as much as I did. Btw, have you ever tried What-Cha’s White Rhino? Mine was from an old harvest but I recall enjoying it a lot
There exists another White Rhino?! My night has been made! I am going to check it out right now!
Sipping on this one now and just… wow.
I think I really needed this tea today – it’s got that perfect sweet floral quality mixed with notes of honey, crisp rain water, and fresh garden peas. Really consistent with a gentle astringency. The weather has felt a bit like a ping pong game lately, and I’m missing having tea outside. It’s worse because it feels like that reality is soooo close to happening again. However, this cup is capturing that feeling for me and, truly, it helps.
I loved this one too but it sadly wasn’t available when I placed my last order :(.
i put myself on the waitlist or whatever just in case heh
I remember being surprised by this one since I am not normally into darjeelings at all
