Mangrove Sunbird Darjeeling 1st Flush | Black Tea
products.product.pickup_availability.unavailable
A bright-eyed and vigorous tea that will heighten your senses. Apple blossom aromatics, amply textured liquor, and a subtle, yet effective amount of astringency. It has more body than is typical of the style and a rare presence of barely ripe peaches in the aftertaste. More fruity, less grassy - a most interesting specimen.
Mangrove Sunbird is an FTGFOP1 leaf grade produced at the Thurbo Estate, Darjeeling, India in the spring of 2026.
Ingredients: black tea
