Another great tea from the Organic Okayti Estate of the Mirik Valley on the Nepal/Darjeeling border. Established in the late 19th century, fine tea has been farmed here, from 1200-1900m in altitude, for over 100 years.
As the name intimates, this tea is an incredible "wonder of gold"...High altitude, small leaf/tips have been carefully picked and processed to produce this incredible furry, golden tea leaf.
Capable of repeat steeps, it delivers a full sweet cup, hinting at roasted nuts and the floral aspects of our incredible Jin Jun Mei "sans pareil" 'Turkish Delight' that lingers after consumption.
A great organic tea and fab value for money.
