Description

Castleton Muscatel is a tea without which we feel our catalog would have been incomplete. A perfect tea, a prefect muscatel from the best garden.

Muscatel is a common term used during the summer flush. Sometimes it becomes very confusing. Almost every estate marks their teas as muscatel but all gardens have a different character or variety of muscatel. Castleton is known worldwide for their famous muscatels. They have mastered in making the finest muscatels. The dry leaves are enough to mesmerize you. Long curled blackish – mauve color leaves with strong sweet musk aroma is just too good to resist. When brewed for 4 minutes what we get is beautiful amber liquor with musky peachy grapy aroma. The taste is equally good. Sip start on a very prominent musk not and gets sweeter as the sip ends. The thickness is perfect and adds like a layer of flavor on the pallet. The aftertaste is like honey and grapes.

A tea which we are sure you would savour and cherish for long time.
