2011 Darjeeling Autumn Flush Gopaldhara Thunder Tea

This tea is chock-full of flavor and aroma in the manner of an oolong! The dry leaf is shockingly reminiscent of wine and roses, almost like a dessert wine or aperitif. The infusion is bright and attractive with an luminous coppery appearance, reddish blush, greenish accents. It is one of those autumnal Darjeelings that is satisfyingly full of tannins but without noticeable bitterness. This is a tea-lover's tea for sure and takes milk exceedingly well.

Sublime! Review by Vincent

C'est pour moi l'un des meilleurs thés que j'ai pu essayer.
Parfumé, harmonieux, aucune amertume, il donne toutes ses lettres de noblesses au thé darjeeling. (For me it is one of the best teas I've tried. Fragrant, smooth, no bitterness, the best darjeeling has to offer)

One of the best teas I’ve tried in my life Review by Christian, Mexico

One of the best teas I’ve tried in my life from one of my favorite gardens in Darjeeling. To my taste Gopaldhara and Rohini make some of the best teas in the region. I remember how impressed I was with the first flush of both gardens. The Thunder is a tea of great personality, charming. The dry leaves are dark brown and a fine aroma that brings to mind images of a rainy afternoon in the forest. Autumn at its best. Wet leaves reveal a nice size and a beautiful dark red shade. Infusion is fresh, voluptuous, with hints of tropical fruits. Very complex in the mouth as well as in the nose. I felt that I was capable of chewing the liquor. This is very special, my favorite from the whole catalogue of autumnals. Don’t miss it; it is really something you have to try.
