Description
Nepalese First Flush Mist Valley 2016: from Jitpur, near Ilam, Nepal.
The small, cloud-enveloped Mist Valley garden in eastern Nepal is situated at an altitude of 4600 feet. It has produced this beautiful Nepalese First Flush SFTGFOP1 grade tea. It has an attractively green, tippy leaf with a lovely fresh straw and floral aroma. In the cup this picking is pale gold with medium-light body. Whilst it is a first flush it does not have an overtly astringent aspect, in fact it is noticeably smooth, subtly floral and herbaceous with a long finish. Infuse for four minutes and drink without milk.
