Darjeeling Giddapahar

Darjeeling 1st Flush Giddapahar An exceptional first flush Darjeeling from the original tea bushes of a small family run garden, dating back to the 1890s (there are 87 tea estates in Darjeeling in total). This lightly oxidized 1st Flush Darjeeling has a lovely nose that combines the typical florality of a first flush Darjeeling with the wooded character more common on a second flush, making it pleasing to all Darjeeling aficionados. Beautiful buds and lightly oxidized green-tinged leaves brew to a light copper liquor with a full, round mouth-feel and well-structured tannin. The aromas of the nose bear through in the liquor with notes that taste like the beautiful region of Darjeeling itself: wooded hills, lush florals, and pepper.
