Description
A summer black tea with a rare bouquet
Founded in 1885 in the Kurseong valley, Castleton is a garden especially renowned for its summer harvests. The term "Muscatel" describes a tea whose notes recall the fruity smoothness of muscat grapes. This distinctive trait, the source of a rare bouquet, is due to an insect: the jassid.
This summer harvest reveals cocoa and floral notes, mingled with a powdery texture that delicately prolongs the fragrances on the palate.
