A superb second flush production from Jun! The craftsmanship is brilliant, right from its aroma and appearance to its inspired finish.
DRY LEAF: Long wiry leaves with an unusual crispness for teas from the Himalayas. Recalls wuyi rock oolong in appearance, but with a more finer leaves. Rich aroma of dark chocolate and burnt caramel that you’ll keep sniffing.
INFUSION: The leaves appear cocoa with a nose of plum, chocolate, caramel and spice.
CUP: The liquor is dark honey with a sweet fruity fragrance. A delicate creaminess coats the palate with rich notes of plum and caramel together with spicy hints.
The second flush production in Nepal took place in the aftermath of the devastating Nepal earthquake. We have deep admiration for Jun Chiyabari for not letting up in their pursuit for Quality despite the enormous challenges that it faced due to the natural disaster.
