And now, from the "Blue Mountains" of Mother India's Western Ghat, in my cup (my 3-cup morning-mug):

Adderley Exotic Winter Frost Black Tea

"'Dainty elegance' is how you would describe the teas from (Nilgiri, single estate) Adderley. And offering  firm testimony to this claim is this fine winter flush pick from the estate. This tea is highly aromatic and there is an over-arching (!) sweetness to it, slightly floral and, to some extent, fruity. It's neither blunt nor coy, just reassuringly simple and thoroughly wholesome.

Aroma

"Dense and sweet with dominating fruity notes, wintergreen oil (well, sort of), wildflowers and dried apricots.

Appearance

"Deep Orange

Taste

"The liquor is full bodied, feels ample in the mouth, dense and brisk.  Sweet fruity notes can be perceived and tend to grow more pronounced which is beautifully balanced by fragrant flavors of wintergreen oil which resonates till the finish and lend more density to the cup. Soft floral aroma combined with mellow notes of dried apricots and palm sugar can  be  discerned in the aftertaste."

How could I resist?
