Oh thank you so much Nicole for sharing this sample with me. I am really in love with this one too and I agree with you there is some buttery Oolong taste in this Darjeeling !
The dry leaves are really thin, kind of mix of green and black and smell a little like caramel to me.
The liquor is clear.
The taste is complex : fruity for sure, I get some plum notes and a dominant muscatel taste. To me a light citrusy note appears on the aftertaste.
There is absolutely none astringency nor bitterness with this tea.
I am clearly changing my mind about Darjeelings with such a lovely tea and with the other Darjeeling I had one week ago.
I surely didn’t taste the right Darjeeling before this month !

Sounds luscious. I don’t give Darjeelings enough time or consideration, either.
I’m starting to appreciate darjeelings more now that Ive learned to lower the water temp to 195 or so. All the difference in the world!
i agree!!!
I’m so glad you like this one!
@ Sil I am sure you would like this one !
@ gmathis yes it is really one to take into consideration
@ Terri, this one can bear a boiling temperature
