Giddapahar China Delight First Flush Darjeeling
First Flush Darjeeling
The Giddapahar Tea Estate is a small, family-owned Darjeeling tea estate and is also known as ‘Eagles Cliff’. The slopes are shrouded in mist most of the time, giving the Chinese tea bushes just the conditions they need to produce wonderfully fragrant leaves. Once they have been skilfully processed according to age-old methods, the Giddapahar China Delight Darjeeling is one of the very best teas available of this grade with wonderfully sweet, mildly nutty, complex characteristics.This new season Giddapahar has large leaves which unfurl to their full size once infused to produce a fresh and smooth liquor bursting with all the sweet, nutty and slightly spicy tastes you would expect from a classic First Flush Darjeeling.
