MOONDAKOTEE

FTGFOP1 DJ3/2017 - Jardin Premier*
Darjeeling First Flush

Moondakotee or « the Sanctuary of the Moon ». Situated to the north of Kurseong on Tiger Hill, this garden founded in 1852 soaks in the beneficent virtues of the Moon.

Dried leaves: The tender buds and their young leaves are imbued with a creamy note of lychee honey and candied tamarind.

Infused leaves: Luminous imperial green. A perfume of wild orchid under the morning dew marries a sweet note of fresh walnut.

Liquor:Sparkling reflections of amber. A fruity-flowery fragrance of apricot introduces a silky, creamy sensation of vanilla ganache. The gourmet cup is aroused by a zesty burst of bergamot while the finale is punctuated by a persistent brume of vetiver.

Joie de vivre in Darjeeling.
