The Ex 2/26 Mangalam Speciality Orthodox stands as a testament to meticulous sorting and a balanced pluck. It is a tea defined by its harmony—a rhythmic interplay between the vigor of the leaf and the delicacy of the bud.

The Leaf : To observe the dry leaf is to see a curated landscape. There is a strikingly even distribution here; silvery buds are woven through a complex mosaic of deep black, forest green, and earthy brown leaves. This multicolored appearance isn't just aesthetic—it signals a sophisticated multi-dimensional flavor profile waiting to be released.
The Infusion:
Upon steeping, the leaves reveal a bright, spirited green, punctuated by the deeper hues of carefully oxidized foliage. The aroma is one of pure vitality-a fresh vegetal note that evokes the scent of a garden at daybreak, crisp and full of life.
The Liquor:
The pour is a radiant, bright golden, possessing a clarity that invites the first sip. On the palate, the Mangalam Speciality Orthodox is masterfully structured. It is remarkably smooth, yet it carries a refined astringency that provides a necessary backbone. This briskness is complemented by subtle vegetal undertones, culminating in a surprising fruity finish.
