BREWING INTRUCTIONS

SKU: B/EX26/Twilight/25
A bold, brooding black tea from Balasun’s mid-elevation AV2 bushes, evocative of a summer dusk steeped in shadow and warmth. Resinous Bhutanese oud opens the experience, deepening into cigar-leaf intensity. A fleeting sweetness akin to Flying Dutchman pipe tobacco introduces nostalgic complexity. The leggy, well-made leaf yields a coppery, bright infusion with a fragrant bouquet. The mellow, amber-toned liquor leaves a deep, lingering impression of depth and poise.
