1st Flush Darjeeling

Black Tea by Twinings

“This concentration of flavour from this first flush is unique to the spring teas and gives an exquisitely honeyed aroma and the light fragrant taste of ripe green muscatel grapes

Described as having an exquisitely honeyed aroma and a light fragrant taste of ripe green muscatel grapes – this tea does not disappoint. I could see where Twinings were coming from with the aroma, but to me it was more soft straw than honey. Taste was subtle; almost Champagne like in terms of a light but focussed taste. After hints of grapes, just as described on the box. A gorgeous tea to be drunk in the finest of china cups. Black – no sugar and served just 3 minutes into steeping.
