(PREMIUM DARJEELING WHITE TEA) [EX
5]
This
tea is the one, if you are looking
for a perfect Darjeeling White Tea;
a tea made during peak First Flush
time from tender clonal tea leaves.
Its 100% hand crafted tea with no
machinery involved. This Darjeeling white Tea is impossible
if there is no sun. In short this
is the most natural form of tea we
have ever come across and not to forget
the quality. Quality is top notch
and as the tender leaves impart an
attractive appearance with a very
sweet nectar like liquor, we have
referred to as the "Nectar of
the Gods". Made in very limited
quantity, this white tea is the one which
you shouldn't miss even if you don't
like whites that much.
White Tea dry tea leaves: Seems almost
as if its in its natural state as
it was growing from the tea bushes.
Most of the "two leaves and a
bud" are intact with an amazing
luster which gets derived from its
glistening tiny silver hairs on almost
all of the tea leaves and buds. This Darjeeling white
has an overall very greenish appearance
which is accompanied by elongated
silver (white) tips which tapers at
the end. The chunky silver tips further
ornaments the style of the leaves
giving it a very attractive bloom.
The tea leaves are voluminous which
takes up a larger space and very light
in weight. It has a very fresh sweet
nose which also tends towards becoming
flowery. It also has very slight hints
of bread like fragrance which can
be observed and sensed with a deeper
and prolonged inhale. It also has
attributes which seem like fresh boiled
mixed vegetable.
White Tea infused tea leaves: The Darjeeling White tea's infusion
is a marvel to watch at. It seems
as if you have picked up some grass
and done the brewing – its so
green. The overall appearance of the
infused white tea leaves turn out to be
green with slight hints of pale yellow
mixed beautifully. The tea leaves
which previously in the dry state
seemed glued to its counterparts,
magically opens up and reveals the
glory. The infusion is bright and
has a lively fresh bouquet. It has
a thoroughly pronounced veggie aroma
accompanied by slight bread like and
floral.
White Tea cup or tea
liqor: This Darjeeling White Tea has an almost colorless
cup that is bright and aromatic. This
light bodied tea tastes sweet and
tender and feels like its rejuvenating
your whole body through and through
moving you towards total relaxation.
It has an underlying complex undertone
aromas of different flowers. The veggie
aroma is prominent from the dry tea
leaves to the cup. It has slight hint
of grassy notes. It has a sweet aftertaste
with very slight astringency. First
Flush teas tend to turn bitter if
steeped for long, but this one is
one tea which shows no sign of bitterness.
Infact to get the best of this tea,
try using more of the tea leaves and
steep it for atleast 4 minutes at
about 85 C.
One tea you shouldn't miss!
Very limited and ethereal –
We call this Darjeeling White Tea - the “Nectar of
the Gods”. Very Very Limited
