Avongrove First Flush 2012
Grade: Euphoria Supreme
Description: Crispy whole slender rolled leaves with green and hints of silvering. The most aromatic among all the first flush of this season.
Smell: Distinct First flush smell with the characteristics smell of Darjeeling’s unique aroma. Mellow and fruity which fills the entire senses lasting long even after sometime. Refreshing.
Liquor: A fading light liquor got from a 3 – 6 min. steeping typical of the Spring Teas from the Queen of hill stations, which could easily be mistaken for a white tea. It holds the characteristic fragrance even after brewing, and is complimented by an equally more ambrosia like muscatel taste, which is perfect for as a breakfast tea, or as an afternoon tea, to rejuvenate the tired cells. Simply amazing; Credited undoubtedly as God’s drink. Only for a blessed few.
I couldn’t stop my self from taking cups after cups today in the morning. The fragrance lingered for a long time throughout the day.
