I admit up front that I am far more of a Darjeeling drinker than I am an Assam drinker or Keemun drinker. There’s nothing quite as good as a nice pot of Darjeeling in the afternoon. This tea doesn’t merely make a nice pot…it’s exceptional. It’s consistently clean (not sure exactly how to describe that taste other than I find it a lot in Darjeelings, not so much with others) and has a hint of citrus zest wrapped in muscatel to it. If you like Darjeelings, do not pass up this wonderful tea.
Risheehat Estate SFTGFOP1 Ch. Musc. 2nd Fl (DJ-102)
Black Tea by Upton Tea Imports
A premium Darjeeling with a classic muscatel flavor note. Our tasters have also listed notes of lime zest and a light peppery feel on the palate. Certainly one of the season’s best picks.
