Product Description:
A stunning Himalayan massif, Annapurna is Sanskrit for “Goddess of the Harvests.” One leaf and a bud, plus a mature leaf are plucked. The tea is oxidized slowly, in cold air, then double fired. An exceptional Darjeeling-style oolong, Annapurna Oolong is infused with apricot and muscat grape flavors. Its liquor is full-bodied, revealing a beautiful red-amber hue distinctive to our teas. Subtle notes of malt and caramel linger in the finish.Temperature: 195° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 3 minutes
The dry leaves have a spicy aroma with hints of citrus, dark molasses, brown bread, and seared wood.
The bright red infusion has a sweet aroma with notes of dark bread, brown sugar, honey, and baked fruit. The taste is rich and dark with notes of baked fruit, and a hint of cinnamon with a long fruity finish.
While the first infusion held the most complexity, the second and third infusions were still enjoyable. The finish was especially delightful.
