Negotiate a peaceful accord between two of the world’s most exquisite teas—Formosa Fancy Superior Oolong and the finest First Flush Darjeeling. The bright, brisk Muscatel edge of the Himalayan tea is a worthy companion to the woody, apricot influences of the Taiwanese selection.

As I said in the video, this bright first flush Darjeeling provides a bright and slightly unsettling Muscatel edge. However, accompanied with the woody, wet stone aroma, the appeal is great. Complete with all that you would expect, this tea gives a fantastic presentation of sharp edges and deep, subtle roundness, all at once. Notes of light apricot also come forward from the background of the Darjeeling tea as you savor this blend.
It’s a good blend. Bright edges peek through a pleasant foundation of warm stone and finishes with a comely fruit sweetness. Easy enough.
