Darjeeling Balasun Second Flush Mystic Black Tea 2022

The Balasun Tea Estate comes alive every early Darjeeling Summer with mountain spring fed water and the Himalayan sunshine. Nature gifts us with a bright flush during this time and the slopes of Balasun have produced a gem of a tea this year - an in-between flush Darjeeling (in between first and second flushes) with a clonal First Flush character. The commendable craftsmanship makes for an assortment of beautiful bold leaves with a great show of plushy tips. The cup is bright topaz and emanates an unforgettable aroma.
