Sakhira EstateNepal, Green Tea

Pretty green leaf with plenty of silky tips. Familiar sweet milk chocolate notes in the scent. Vegetal and nutty steam. Aromatic, tart, nutty infusion. Fragrant, toasty, pleasant tea. Mildly astringent, if at all, and minty.
Tea: Upton Tea, TM90 (discontinued)
Gaiwan: Red Blossom Tea, Jingdezhen Spring

Upton Tea description: "The relatively bold leaves of this selection are well-twisted and have a light complement of silvery tips. The liquor (on the dark side for a first flush tea) has a delicate toasty undertone, with sweet notes of honey and caramel. The aroma has a hyacinth floral aspect, while the finish is smooth and lightly pungent. With Darjeeling prices increasing rapidly, teas of Nepal in this style are attracting more attention."
