This tea is a great example of why Darjeelings are called the Champagne of tea. A strong fruity aroma and dark brown color are different from all other types of black tea I’ve ever had, that the flavor is really in a class all of it’s own. The flavor of the first infusion was a nice balance of fruity sweetness and something akin to mesquite, which is very different from my Chinese blacks. There is a bit of an aftertaste of mesquite and hints of fruit that lingers on the top of the mouth, which seems to be fairly standard for my other Darjeeling tea.
