From Camellia Sinensis

This world class tea garden bestows upon us this heavenly clonal First Flush delight. This lot, composed of large leaves and curled buds, is typical of modern aesthetics. It’s light and spacious liquor ranges from scents of herbs and flowers (wild spring flowers) to supple notes of peach and muscatel. A perfect example of pure AV2 cultivar and the glory of young tea plants in the Himalayan soil.

Cultivar: AV2
Producer: M. Rai
Altitude: 1900m
Date of harvest: April 1, 2020

Am a fan. Sample of this from VariaTEA and it’s delicious and exactly what i wanted on this cooler/rainy day. It IS like white rhino but slightly different. May be worth picking some up from Camelia… hmmm thanks lady!

Courtney

Sil

Another awesome sample from VariaTEA!

I think I’ve chosen the right tea for this note…this tea is super tasty! This is my second steep and it’s creamy and hay-like and I love that. I reminds me a little bit of my beloved white Rhino. Maybe first flush Darjeelings can be a thing for me?

First steep 3 minutes
Second steep 4 minutes

Thanks for sharing VariaTEA :)

I’m glad you liked it! I was surprised I liked it as much as I did. Btw, have you ever tried What-Cha’s White Rhino? Mine was from an old harvest but I recall enjoying it a lot

Courtney

There exists another White Rhino?! My night has been made! I am going to check it out right now!

Sipping on this one now and just… wow.

I think I really needed this tea today – it’s got that perfect sweet floral quality mixed with notes of honey, crisp rain water, and fresh garden peas. Really consistent with a gentle astringency. The weather has felt a bit like a ping pong game lately, and I’m missing having tea outside. It’s worse because it feels like that reality is soooo close to happening again. However, this cup is capturing that feeling for me and, truly, it helps.
