Giddapahar Green, Darjeeling

Green Tea by TeaSource

This rare green tea steeps up a light golden/green color with a very smooth, slightly sweet, very fresh taste, with no edge or bite at all. It’s sort of like a autumnal Darjeeling, except greener and lighter.

Really interesting green tea, slightly vegetal with just a small amount of astringency. I expected more of an astringent bite since it is a darjeeling, but I really didn’t get it. Reminds me a tiny bit of a young sheng pu erh. Certainly the first green darjeeling I’ve had.

I got 2 steeps from the leaves, the second fell off a little, but still definitely worth the second steep. I used a rounded tsp in my 7 ounce cup and did around 2 and 3 minute steeps with water straight from the hot water cooler tap (175°ish).
