Backlog:
Another tea from Darjeeling Tea Lovers that I absolutely LOVED. That happens a lot with this company because their teas are spectacular.
The aroma is amazing – it has a remarkable peach and flower scent. Love it, and what I loved even more is that aroma translated to the flavor. I tasted peach, I taste the floral notes and these two elements meld beautifully together. Smooth and sweet. No sharpness or bitterness at all and there is very little astringency: just a slightly dry sensation felt in the aftertaste which is followed up with a really lovely sweet note.
The flavor makes me think of a lightly sugared peach. Sweet and fruit-like and absolutely wonderful.
