Nepal 2nd Flush Kuwapani Summer 2011 Tea by Stone Leaf Teahouse

Nepal 2nd Flush Kuwapani Summer 2011

Nepal Kuwapani 2nd Flush

Summer 2011. Grown in the shadow of Makalu (27,765 ft), the cool Himalayan air currents envelope the gardens to produce a truly unique environment that is best suited for tea. Add the considerable wisdom and experience of the tea manager, and you have the tea we present to you. A fine leaf selection with a remarkable honey aroma, followed by bright amber infusion with a full body. This black tea has characteristic tannins similar to Darjeeling, but distinctly holds up on its own.

Thank you TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea. It’s fantastic!

I love this tea. It has some striking similarities to a Darjeeling, but, with a fuller body and a more robust flavor overall. Hints of wood, cacao, honey and flower intermingle. A dry astringency toward the tail, and a lightly sweet finish that lingers.

Very enjoyable … one of those teas that I’d love to have around to enjoy on a day when I want nothing more than to just sit back and enjoy tea. (Which is… pretty much every day)

TeaEqualsBliss 2 tasting notes

This is my first tea taste of Stone Leaf Tea and I’m very impressed!

The aroma is a little bit of honey and a little bit of sweet wood paired together.

The post infusion liquor color is a lighter to medium brown.

There are slight hints of a darjeeling taste to it but as the product description notes – it HOLDS IT OWN – it’s different from that stereotypical darjeeling taste. It’s a combo of a mellower black tea taste with a slight bit of darjeeling black – add in specks of sweet woodsy flavors, honey, and a creamier-malty type taste. The after taste is smooth and semi-sweet, too!

This is comforting! I like it!
