Product Description: A classic 2nd flush muscatel tea from the Makaibari Estate - the pioneers of biodynamic tea farming in the world. This tea has a pronounced floral bouquet, with nutty and pungent notes in the cup and is one of our most popular selections.
Temperature: 208° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 3 minutes
The dry leaves have a sweet and heady aroma of muscat grapes with a hint of nut shells.
The orange amber infusion has a full floral aroma with sweet honey undertones. The taste is moderately astringent and sweet with defined muscatel and floral notes and a dry finish.
The first infusion was full in flavor and aroma with the tea mellowing as the muscatel notes took a step back with each subsequent infusion. By the third infusion, the flavor had become light, playful and enjoyable in its own way.
This tea was received as a gift from a third party.
