Cup or Liquor characteristics (Badamtam Tea Estate First Flush)

The reflective quality of liqor or in simple words the brightness of this Badamtam First Flush tea is lively and fresh smelling. It has a beautiful floral aroma somewhat rosy in character. Slightly grassy, but extremely enjoyable with a well balanced and prominent sweetness and nutty characteristics which resemble that of almonds. The cup is smooth with buttery mouth-feel. Some spicy hints can be felt as well. Slight astringency can be felt, yet is smooth and sweetness in taste can be observed. It leaves a sweet and buttery aftertaste at the tip of the tongue.

The product is mediocre – the liquor is reddish, more like second flush tea. Very little flavor. Not sure why, but I am disappointed with this tea.

Hello Mr Mallik,
Thanks for your review. Apologize for the same. We did a re-brewing of the tea after reading your comment and it is light liqored and has a lovely flowery nose. Anyways, anything can happen while packing as a human error or in transit. I would like to send you the teas once again for your tasting purpose free of cost. I apologize for the same. Yes, some lovely 2022 Second Flush are coming our way as well. Will include some samples if possible. Ya would be great if you could send us the tea leaf photo and the liqor color for information sake. Thanks.
Regards,
Benoy
