Description

Muscatel refers to a distinctive flavor found in some Darjeeling teas, especially the second-flush teas. It has been described as a “distinct sweet flavour” that is not present in other flushes or tea from other localities, a “musky spiciness,” “a unique muscat-like fruitiness in aroma and flavour,” or “dried raisins with a hay like finish.” Though difficult to describe, it is prized by tea aficionados.
