Brewing recipe:  For 1 cup, steep 2 gm (approx 1 tablespoon) of tea for 3-5 minutes in water heated to 90-100 degrees C

This premium black loose leaf tea has smooth flavors of oak wood and drupes. The leaves are medium-sized, tightly-rolled, with some brown flakes, and interspersed with a few tips. This infusion carries zesty notes that resemble the taste of fresh plums and dried berries. The liquor, although sharp at times, is largely smooth, full-bodied and ample in the mouth. It carries faint notes of tart which enhance the overall experience of this prime muscatel. It starts out on a dry and a slightly bitter note but turns wonderfully flavorful in the middle. The flavors become prominent in the aftertaste which rounds up the whole experience of this exquisite tea.
