Details
Crafted from AV2 bushes, Sun-Kissed Nectar Oolong is a rare Darjeeling summer harvest that captures the warmth and abundance of the second flush season. Its distinctive character develops through a natural interaction between the tea leaves and tea jassids, a phenomenon celebrated for creating the muscatel notes found in the finest Darjeeling teas.
The leaves unfurl into a luminous golden liquor with captivating aromas of honey and ripe fruit. Layers of muscatel grapes, sun-ripened mango, and delicate floral nuances emerge on the palate, balanced by a silky texture and an elegant absence of astringency.
Smooth, expressive, and beautifully layered, this exceptional oolong reveals new dimensions with every infusion, offering a refined tea experience that lingers long after the final sip.
