5️⃣ Savor the Aroma 🌿: Breathe in the fragrant notes of muscatel, floral sweetness, and mild astringency before taking your first sip.
💡 Pro Tip: Avoid milk—it can overpower the delicate flavor of Darjeeling tea. Instead, pair your cup with light biscuits or tea cakes for a perfect tea-time experience!
