The first steep was so sweet I felt like I was drinking fruit juice, later on more of the tannins come out. Nice and complex, with a variety of different fruit and floral flavors and a long aftertaste. Medium body, not very sticky. The wet leaves smell smoky and earthy, but I’m not really picking that up in the liquor. I prefer second flush Darjeelings overall to first flush, I find them more flavorful.

Flavors: Gardenia, Honeydew, Jasmine, Peach

I’ve been drinking tea as a hobby for a few years, thought I should finally start leaving reviews. I’m most fond of teas on the darker end – black/red, roasted oolong, ripe puerh. I’m no good at translating a review into a numerical rating, so I usually don’t give one.
