Shorter steeping times are the key to good 1st flush Darjeeling brews!! I was unaware of this at first, creating very bitter brews, but since I corrected my prep methods, I’ve found a new love for them. This one is excellent. For all of you who know the taste of 1F Darjeelings, this one has all the right characteristics in the right quantities…the sweet floral hints (different than those of light oolongs) light mouth feel, light astringency, not bitter at all, with that lovely Darjeeling “trademark.”
Organic Darjeeling - Goomtee 1st Flush FTGFOP1 (2009)
The first of the 2009 arrivals. Goomtee Estate is known for high quality Organic teas. Great in the afternoon, or whenever you want a lighter body black tea with the Darjeeling sweetness.
