2012 Darjeeling First Flush Himalayan Wonder Black Tea

Black Tea by DarjeelingTeaXpress

Himalayan Wonder is an excellent first flush clonal tea picked by our selectors and has aptly been named as a Himalayan Wonder due to its flavourful qualties that represents the best of what First Flush has to offer. The long well twisted leaves with few silver tips and green highlights have a wonderful smell and the infusion boasts of an excellent cinnamon and spices notes. The flavour only assumes more significance with more steeping. It is a great cup for most times of the day.

I’m glad I chose an earthy tea this morning, full dark green leaves with a very strong and potent scent.

Steeped, it gives a more sweetly spicy scent, with a light amber tint.

First sip gives a great level of sweet and spice, just the right amount of bite to satisfy while maintaining a slight complex body.

I can see why this is named Himalayan Wonder, it is enticing in aroma while surprising in flavor, and a great tea to enjoy at any and all times.
