Castleton Maharaja is one tea which we are sure you will not want to miss. After recording THE WORLD MOST EXPENSIVE TEA last season, they are back again with a BIG BANG!!!

Everything about this tea is perfect to make it a wonderful First Flush Tea. The dry leaves are well rolled and fine sorted. The initial appearance is very bright. When brewed for 4 minutes, it gives a beautiful bright yellow cup. The aroma will remind you that THIS IS A CASTLETON TEA, a very peach like sweetness with high flowery notes which tempts to have a sip immediately. The flavour is also very smooth, it starts and finishes very well. There is no sign of ‘harshness’ all you feel is a sweet floral flavour which lingers into your mouth for long. The aftertaste is very energetic and a bouquet of floral tone to it.

This tea has raised the standards of our First Flush Catalogue. Without any doubt, this qualifies for becoming the BENCHMARK TEA this season. A must have for every tea connoisseur.

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.
