Tea from India - Darjeeling 1st flush 2022 MILLIKTHONG F.T.G.F.O.P. Grand cru

Harvested on March 3rd in the Mirik Valley, this lot, manufactured in the traditional way, comes from a plantation whose oldest tea trees have been replaced, thus offering more aromatic teas. Its regular leaves dotted with white tips offers warm attack of chestnut, a flowery and vegetal heart with a slight astringency, a cup recalling the humid atmosphere of tea factories during the process of transformation of the leaves. A lovely journey on its own!
