An acquired taste, but very worth it. Darjeelings have an edge to them that I can’t quite square with, but 1st and 2nd flush varieties are light enough that I can enjoy drinking them.
at first, I picked up a springy or lively black tea, not weighted down by its dark fermented flavors. The first cup was a wonderful refreshment.
As the tea began to continue steeping to a darker (but not OVERsteeped liquid) tea, the tea became an overload of tannins.
The tea was pleasant and refreshing, but I will keep it semi under-steeped for next time—- and there WILL be a next time because it was quite enjoyable!
