• Dávám 10/10 bodů

Čaj opět přišel v atraktivním dvojitém balení, které zachovalo jako čerstvost. Po rozbalení čaj svěží voněl. Chuťově byl, hodně zajímavý trochu připomínal bílé čaje typu Bai Mu Dan. V nálevu byla chuť bílého čaje a charakteristickým darjeeling čaje, který byl květinově ovocný s mírnou svíravostí, chuť se dlouze drží v ústech… Tenhle čaj stojí za ochutnání.
