Arya SFTGFOP1 First Flush Darjeeling from Thunderbolt Tea

Steepster Score 3 Ratings Rate This Tea

76/100

Arya SFTGFOP1 First Flush Darjeeling

Tea by Thunderbolt Tea

Arya SFTGFOP1 is amongst the first invoices from Arya Tea Estate. As is every Darjeeling First Flush tea, the dry leaves bear a greenish appearance with some amount of silver tips. Has a sweet, buttery and honey fragrance which is in turn nutty and flowery in nature.

As the site says, very mild, flowery and buttery. Perhaps just the tiniest, tiniest smoky hint, which is not at all unwelcome. A pale cup, but not as much as some Darjeelings.

Opinion on first sippage — excellent, light, well rounded, but perhaps lacking some of the nuance of some Darjeelings. Still thoroughly recommended though.
