So I’m not as sure about this one. It was okay, but not outstanding. I wonder if it’s just because it’s basically a year old? I don’t know. I’m going to go ahead and give a couple of more of the second flush a try.

I didn’t really get that muscat flavor, and I do really like muscat grapes. They’re really tasty. Ah well.

Preparation

Yeah not all the darjeelings in the box were good ones.

And I wouldn’t expect a year old second flush to be amazing, even if it were a good one.

I have year or two year olds Darj, they are fine

Cheri

I dunno. Maybe I’m also just not getting what’s there. Stacy did say these weren’t necessarily good teas, too.

Not all the teas were good. I tried to provide a variety and focused on better teas but not all were.

Cheri

It also may just be that second flush just isn’t my cup of tea (pun intended). Some of them were better than others, but I definitely preferred first flush over second over autumn.

Butiki Teas

Cheri-Tee hee. For the most part, I am the same way (except for our Sourenee Black Blossom, which is the only 2nd flush that beats out every FF for me).

I may have to request a sample of that one on my next order from you. I am probably going to allow myself to buy tea again soon. (Well, I did allow myself to get a new subscription…but that’s different somehow. It comes out of a different pool of money in my strange self budgeting system.)

Still relatively new to drinking teas, or so I feel, even though I’ve been at it for several months now.

I’m drinking more and more of different varieties of tea.

It’s been a few months that I’ve been on here. I’ve expanded from greens and flavored teas to now I’m all about the oolongs and some unflavored blacks. I’m mostly drinking unflavored teas now, but there are a few of those flavored ones that have a special place in my heart.

Pu-erh is also something I’ve recently found that I enjoy.

I have four kitties and a spouse.
