DRY LEAF
The Premium Muscatel Second Flush Darjeeling Black Tea features large, whole, handpicked leaves with a beautiful, dark amber color. The dry leaves are full-bodied and have a distinct, slightly twisted shape, which is characteristic of high-quality Darjeeling tea. As you open the pack, you'll be greeted with a delightful and complex aroma—an inviting mix of fruity and muscatel notes. The muscatel fragrance, often likened to ripe grapes or a fine wine, is immediately noticeable, promising a rich and aromatic brew.
INFUSION
Once the leaves are steeped in hot water, the infusion is a bright, golden amber with a clear, vibrant hue. The fragrance becomes even more pronounced, with floral notes of jasmine and hints of stone fruits such as apricot and peach. The muscatel aroma intensifies, releasing an earthy, sweet fragrance that fills the air. The infusion retains its smoothness, with the underlying complexity of flavors beginning to unfold as the tea leaves release their essential oils. The tea has a gentle yet rich aroma, creating an experience that’s both calming and uplifting.
LIQUOR
The liquor of this premium Muscatel Second Flush Darjeeling Black Tea is smooth, full-bodied, and elegantly balanced. It has a bright, crisp mouthfeel with a delicate astringency, offering a harmonious blend of muscatel sweetness and a slight malty richness. The taste is nuanced with layers of fruity and honeyed notes, complemented by a mild, lingering sweetness that gives the tea a refined finish. The muscatel flavor, often described as grape-like or wine-like, is perfectly pronounced, making each sip both refreshing and satisfying. The liquor’s medium-bodied profile and subtle complexity make it ideal for enjoying without any additives, though it pairs wonderfully with a touch of milk or a dash of honey for a more indulgent experience.
