This first flush Darjeeling tea from the low-lying tea estate of Rohini. It was rolled and withered in multiple stages, which amped up the complexity and sweetness of this very fine lot. Very full, sweet, and fresh, this is spring tea at its finest.
The brewed tea is very syrupy, and is dominated by floral notes, but has hints of white and pink fruits and fresh sprouted vegetables. The White Oolong is a very sophisticated tea and a great choice for lovers of light and fresh Springtime flavors.
Origin – Darjeeling, India

Backlog:
I have the 2019 or 2020 harvest. Heavy white grape, and jolly rancher flavor. I occasionally got watermelon, amids the linen and spicy herbaceaous notes I get from Darjeelings. And of course, honey aftertaste.
I still have some left, and I thought I wrote about this last year, but I figured I’d add it again. Though the current season has some different notes, I can definitively recommend this one to tea nerds because of how easy it is to drink, and because of its distinct flavor. I also think this would be very easy on a newbie’s palette, and might acclimate them to the rougher aspects of a first flush before getting into them.
I will also say that this tea strikes me as a cross between a white tea and an oolong. It’s very refreshing, and one of the more oolong tasting Darjeelings I’ve had yet.
Flavors: Candy, Floral, Grapes, Grass, Honey, Melon
