Tasting Notes
Leaf
A Very attractive leaf, that has abundant silver tip content
Infusion
This Orthodox Namring produces a medium orange infusion that has a light appearance and intensity and whose flavours begin with only gentle head notes of muscatel, indentifying it easy as a spring tea. The body notes soon appear giving way to a delicate fruity / fresh fruit taste with peachy character that tails with a gentle sweetness, making it an easy drinker that you will continually come back for. Most probably a tea you would usually take with milk or sugar with – simply great on its own
Food Paring
The light fruit tones make this a great tea to enjoy with soft gentle cheeses as both have a fruity creamy quality. However this tea will mix well with gentle almond and ham flavours so would be ideal for a summer picnic. Yet, so superb is it quality it is simply great taken on its own.
