Rohini Darjeeling Second Flush Gold Buds Black Tea – Crafted from AV2 Bushes

Rohini Darjeeling Second Flush Gold Buds Black Tea is a premium second flush black tea crafted at the Rohini Tea Estate from prized AV2 bushes grown between 1500 and 3000 feet. Freshly plucked in May as single or two whole leaves and a bud, this tea is distinguished by its abundance of golden buds and small, carefully selected leaves. The brownish dry leaves with numerous tips brew into a bright orange, semi-transparent liquor with a coppery infusion. The cup delivers a mouthful muscatel character layered with sweet fruity depth and a honeyed finish. Smooth and free from astringency, it concludes with a pleasant honey-toned aftertaste, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate a strong and expressive Darjeeling second flush.
