The "cream" of this year's First Flush (spring) crop, Namring Upper "Moonshine" (FTGFOP1 - (EX/16) ) comes from the high mountain estate of Namring in the eastern Darjeeling region of North East India.
Namring is one of the largest, and oldest, tea estates in Darjeeling, with the upper gardens reaching upwards of 1500m in altitude.
This years "Moonshine" First Flush was picked in early spring, with a low oxidation/high withering processing leading to a tea full of silver buds amongst the rich coloured dry leaf, that results in a sweet, aromatic liquor full of light fruit notes and gentle jaggary sweetness.
Well balanced with a wonderful light astringency and "briskness" that enlivens and titillates taste-buds, this is a special brew indeed...
Jump on it now...!
