First off this tea has a beautiful soft straw colour and a fruity/citrusy scent. It really smells amazing. It is a green style darjeeling and you can definitely pick up those vegetal notes but they are far more delicate and subtle than in something like a japanese green tea. Even if you don’t usually like green teas, as long as you don’t mind a bit of astringency, you could probably enjoy this. It isn’t suitable for milk and great by itself but if you wanted to add something, lemon would be a nice match.
In Perth after weeks and weeks of rain it seems like today spring is finally here and this tea is just perfect to sip from a glass cup in the sunshine.
