Rohini Darjeeling First Flush Rare Hand Rolled Spring Beauty Black Tea – Made from B157 Clones

Rohini Darjeeling First Flush Rare Hand Rolled Spring Beauty Black Tea is a limited edition early spring tea crafted at the Rohini Tea Estate from prized B157 clones grown between 1500 and 3000 feet. Carefully hand-rolled and shuffled without the use of machinery, the leaves undergo gentle oxidation entirely by hand, preserving precision and leaf integrity. Each finely plucked whole leaf, with a subtle golden hue on the buds, reflects meticulous craftsmanship. The bright green leaves with a tinge of buds brew into a bright yellow, fully transparent liquor. The cup reveals refined fruity character with notes of peach and wildflowers, supported by natural honeyed sweetness. Smooth and free from astringency, it finishes with a pleasant and distinct aftertaste that reflects the freshness of the first flush season.
