    DRY LEAF Small, curly reddish-brown leaves and golden hairy buds releasing a fragrance of marigolds & peach with a hints of dry herbs.
    INFUSED LEAF: Light reddish-green uniformed leaves. Aroma is floral, fruity – peach and mango and it has Darjeeling's significant smell of “petrichor” alas "after the rain" sensation.
    LIQUOR: Bright, crisp amber cup with strong floral aroma - orchids and peonies! Liquor is light in the body, but very creamy, almost buttery like. Taste is incredibly floral with flavour of ripe juicy peaches & mangoes. The after-taste has little acidity and lot of astringency.

"Litlle Poetry" by JD

"High among these majestic hills
Where mist marries with dry ground
Colours of yellow, green and brown
Swirls, entraps, around
Beautiful aroma awakens from the soil
After the first strong rain
Mixing an aroma of delirious orchids
With creamy peaches and wet herbs
Mellow earth, sweetness, and cheers
Just for a second before it all disappears"
