“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

Another one of my very old teas. The best-before date for this one is 10 months ago, but I was able to detect honey notes and some muskiness. I’m still undecided about Darjeelings in general, but this wasn’t too shabby for a tea that’s probably gone stale.

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.
