The best Darjeeling tea I’ve had to date. I went to Temple Coffee and Tea in Sacramento and wasn’t sure if I should try the 1st flush Darjeeling or the 2nd. Sounds like a no brainer; go for the 1st, right? But I wanted to try to taste the muscatel note that it claims to have. So . . .
The first sip was so good. It was crisp and refreshing, lighter, and not astringent like other Darjeeling teas I’ve had. Now I finally understand why they call Darjeeling tea the champagne of tea. I just had to have a good one to understand it. Super good, I hope to add it to my cupboard.
Darjeeling 2nd Flush Muscatel
The “2nd Flush” or second harvest of the year provides semi-brisk teas with big, fruity flavors and distinctive floral aromas that are reminiscent of Muscat wine. A favorite of connoisseurs, the black teas of Darjeeling have a unique character with nuances of green and oolong teas. Only top quality 2nd Flush Darjeeling with elegant floral complexity and strong Muscat flavor meets our standard.
