From Golden Moon Tea

Biodynamically grown with notes of roasted chestnut and a sweet muscatel finish.

Some call it “The Land of the Dancing Mists.” To us it’s simply home to one of our favorite black teas which balances fruit, nut, and floral flavors with an unusual muscatel character.

1) Bring fresh, filtered water to a boil
2) Pour over your tea leaves in a teapot (1 spoonful of tea per serving)
3) Steep 4 minutes
4) Stir, strain, and enjoy!

Why not go with another GM sample sipdown? I’m not sure why this gets such a low rating! It’s a nice representative of Darjeeling… the standard flavors are there. However you could describe a Darjeeling. The flavor here is kind of bold – probably because the sample actually had closer to two teaspoons. Classic delicious Darjeeling. I’m a fan! Not much else to say, but I don’t understand such a low rating for such a tasty Darjeeling (growing to love them, I guess.)

All the usual standard hoped for qualities of a darjeeling, and smooth to boot. A nice easy-going version for when you don’t want to treat it all too preciously or think too much about it.

The tea leaves itself smell very nice, A combination of fruity, flowery and sweet. The resulting infusion is a light golden color, it looks really nice. The taste really nice. It has a mixture of floral, fruity, earth and very subtle sweetness with just enough astringency to top it off. I really enjoyed it and would buy more.

Rich copper brew, grapey aroma, with surprising sweet notes. Some astringency at finish, but not harsh or as bitter as I expected. Tasty with toast and 3-fruit marmalade.

Brewed 2 min. No additives. Hot.
Good mild Darjeeling.
Brewing more than once brought out a little astringency for me.
