TDD1: Arya Estate Topaz Second Flush (EX-45) Organic from Upton Tea Imports

Nicole drank TDD1: Arya Estate Topaz Second Flush (EX-45) Organic by Upton Tea Imports

This is a very light tea. Which, after waaaaay oversteeping some Yunnan Royal this morning, was exactly what was called for.

A pretty leaf that unfurls nicely and steeps a light golden color. Mild dryness as I expect from most darjeelings. Not really astringency, just a little dry. One of the tea club guys said he tasted something smokey. I didn’t get any smokiness at all, but everyone is different.

Tea aficionado. I wish I could make a living creating and serving tea parties, but alas, bills prevent that possibility. :) So I make do by catering tea parties for friends and co-workers and drinking tons of tea with my cats on my lap. :)
