The leaves of Avongrove First Flush black tea SFTGFOP1 are medium-small in size, rolled in shape and quite slender. The colors are a mix of brown and brown in different shades, with some bright green leaves and many silvery-white tips covered in soft down. Once infused, they release gentle aromas with delicate vegetable notes, floral notes, and a hint of lemon balm. The liquor in the cup is an elegant pale golden color, very clear. The initial notes of Avongrove First Flush black tea SFTGFOP1 reveal themselves delicately and not at all sharp, with a sweet taste reminiscent of orange blossom honey. Followed by floral hints reminiscent of wildflowers and thorny bushes, finishing with slightly citrus notes of lemon balm and mandarin zest.
