About Arya Royal Emerald

If you’ve ever been disappointed by a Darjeeling green tea, or simply haven’t had the opportunity to experience a truly exceptional one, then the Arya Royal Emerald Organic Green Tea is the perfect introduction. This remarkable tea serves as a benchmark for quality Darjeeling greens, showcasing the potential of this region to produce exquisite green teas that rival the best in the world.

Just a heads up, Arya Emerald has only ever been produced during the Second Flush and sometimes during the Autumnal season, never in any other season till date. It never gets produced during the First Flush. That already makes it pretty special. If you are drinking Arya Emerald produced during the First Flush, then do look out for some musty smell as well :), as it may be stale tea from other older flushes thats been sold to you again.

This year’s Second Flush Arya Royal Emerald is even more unique because Arya Tea Estate could only produce a tiny batch of Arya Emerald, just 20 kilograms! We were lucky enough to snag a portion of this exclusive 2024 jewel of a green tea from Arya, but we had to share it with one of the Japanese tea company. That means we only have a limited amount of Arya Royal Emerald left – just 10 kilograms. Hurry Grab Your Share!

The first impression of organic Arya Royal Emerald is a visual treat. Elongated, well-twisted leaves, thin and wiry in appearance, boast a captivating pale-yellow and green hue. Unlike many Darjeeling greens, these leaves are adorned with an abundance of silver tips, a rare and visually stunning characteristic. Upon touching, the leaves exude a delightful wiry feel, their silkiness accentuated by the presence of the silver hairs. Prepare to be captivated by the aromatic symphony emanating from the dry leaves. Delicate fruity and floral notes intertwine, with a hint of citrus, reminiscent of fresh lemons, adding a touch of vibrancy.

Steeped to perfection, the Arya Royal Emerald transforms into a visual masterpiece. Imagine a captivating infusion where only the most delicate buds have unfurled, creating an overall green appearance with a subtle interplay of pale green, pale yellow, and a touch of brown. The aroma intensifies, a potent fragrance of fruits and flowers mesmerizing the senses. A gentle grassy note complements the sweetness, hinting at a touch of buttery richness and a whisper of almonds.

The Arya Royal Emerald delivers a light and elegant experience compared to other Darjeeling Second Flush offerings. Its liquor is virtually colorless, leaning towards a pale yellow hue. The taste buds are greeted by a marvelous explosion of fruity and floral notes, with a subtle hint of sweet boiled vegetables adding a touch of complexity. The smooth texture is complemented by a slight dryness, leaving a lingering sweetness and a delightful fruity aftertaste.

Our Arya Royal Emerald Organic Green Tea stands out as a prime example, shattering preconceived notions and proving that Darjeeling can excel in the realm of green teas as well.
