First Flush Darjeeling Jungpana FTGFOP 1 from DAVIDsTEA
98

I seem to question my rating of this tea every time I make it, as the first steep is definitely not that good. I assume I just haven’t found the right way to make it proper yet… it always ends up bitter, but I’ll keep trying. But then, before I lower the rating, I steep for a 2nd time, and boom! It strikes me! This tea is heaven! The 3rd steep is also pretty good, but the 2nd is definitely pure bliss. And so, once again, I will not lower the rating!
