Goodricke Castleton Vintage Darjeeling Tea - Single Estate Whole Leaf Loose Black Tea - Muscatel Notes - 250g

I had first tasted what was Castleton Muscatel Darjeeling Tea in Darjeeling 15th Nov 2020 (see picture) on 1 Robertson Road near Sonar Bangla Restaurant Hotel the road that leads to the Mall, and the aroma haunted me, lingering in my memory like a delightful dream. What makes this tea so unforgettable is the muscatel flavor—a rare and exquisite characteristic unique to the second flush of Darjeeling teas. The second flush refers to the harvest that takes place from late spring to early summer. During this period, the tea leaves mature under the perfect combination of warm sunlight and mountain mist, developing a rich, complex flavor. Muscatel, often described as having a sweet, fruity, grape-like note with hints of honey and a touch of spiced nuttiness, is a prized hallmark of these teas. It’s not just a taste but an experience, a delicate interplay of sweetness and briskness that sets Darjeeling apart from any other tea in the world. GOODRICKE the company which packages and markets Castleton Muscatel Darjeeling Tea captures this magic beautifully. From the moment you open the pack, the aroma is intoxicating—sweet and inviting. When brewed, the liquor is golden amber, and every sip carries the signature muscatel notes with a lingering finish that feels like a gentle caress. It’s no wonder this tea is celebrated globally as the "Champagne of Teas." Five stars are well deserved for a tea that embodies such perfection in every aspect.

Good

Perfect packaging. Perfect taste. worth of money.

Item was very good. But packing was damaged but still I received this item by seeing the quality. Thanks

It's not worth its price tag, one can get finer Darjeeling tea in much less price

This brand of Blue Tin is excellent fragrant and taste better than your other brands.

Even though packed in March 23, the tea is not smelling garden fresh! Goodricke needs to find out the reason. Naturally its low on flavour that Darjeeling teas are known for. All this despite the seller being Goodricke itself.

Excellent tea, comes in an attractive metal box. Also, timely and well packaged delivery.

Nothing bad about the product Please don’t get this from amazon find it in any indian grocery store it is over priced

Very good Darjeeling. A bit pricey but worth it for a Darjeeling lover.

Avid Darjeeling tea drinker, this Castleton ranks up there along with other favorites.

Much too expensive with a watery taste. I wouldn't buy it for 1/4 the price.

Excellent 2nd flush from a lauded premium company. Super fast shipping. The 2nd flush has the sought after characteristic of muscatel flavour & was reasonably fresh.
