Light, but as well aromatic. Darjelling-like, close to the softer First-flushs from there. A fine tea which needs to be “discovered” i think .. too bad i only got a sample, guess will have to buy some ;)

Trying now the second cup of the sample i’ve gotten – and again pleasantly surprised by the soft- and easiness of this tea, which still owns enough character to be again fascinating. Will buy. Tomorrow ;)
