Darjeeling Jungpana Estate SFTGFOP1 2009 1st Flush from Tea Trekker

Fred drank Darjeeling Jungpana Estate SFTGFOP1 2009 1st Flush by Tea Trekker

This tea is a very good black tea. It has the typical muscatel aroma and flavor. The key to enjoying this tea is to not over brew it or it becomes very astringent and somewhat bitter. I brew the tea using 2 heaping teaspoons per 16 oz of water and increase the steeping by 2-3 minutes each time at around 190F.

I have a about 3 more teas from Tea Trekker to rate, I just didn’t rate them when I drank them and now it’s been too long so i have to re drink them to rate them.
