This tea has a very light flavor to me. The first time I tried it, I was able to get a light muscatel flavor, but that’s about it. This time, I steeped in in a 12 oz. mug with two heaping teaspoons of tea. I can taste the muscatel flavor a bit more, and a sort of leafy freshness. It’s still light, but pleasant. I wonder how it would taste if I steeped it in a gaiwan instead.
Giddapahar SFTGFOP1 Ch Musc First Flush (DJ-28) (TDB6)
Black Tea by Upton Tea Imports
This first flush selection has a classic muscatel note, moderate pungency, and smooth finish. The best tea we have cupped in this price range this year. We have just 21 kilograms of this tea, so the supply is very limited.
