A little sample of this was kindly included in my recent order from Thunderbolt Tea, thanks guys! The leaves are large, twisty and range in colour from copper to black and after infusing they are coppery with hints of green. In taste and smell (dry or brewed) this reminds me more of a Keemun than a Darjeeling, it is smooth and chocolatey with none of the fruity or brisk notes that I normally expect. Very enjoyable.

Enjoying a cup of this in company with some first flush Ruby from the same estate. Wet leaves had aromas of chocolate, kind of keemun-y, and then hints of raspberries. The tea also has keemun like flavors and is more fruity/toasty in flavour compared with the greener taste of the first flush. Liking it a lot. Am sure that these two teas will cure what ails me today (namely a bad headache and lack of tea).

Reminds me of an Oolong. A little more woody, oolong like notes for the base notes and a light floral top note. Makes a lovely cup.
