2017 Darjeeling

Tea Trekker is a very good store but I have not bought their Darjeelings. I have bought a number of Darjeelings direct from India from Vahdam teas and in fact am expecting a delivery from them tomorrow morning.

I’m also not familiar with the term “delight” with respect to Darjeelings, though I don’t drink much of them. Here’s Tea Trekker’s announcement. Maybe someone else can shed some light on it:

“These are both ‘Delight’ manufactures but are more traditional in style than the ‘Delight’ style Darjeeling teas of recent years. Those of you who have been yearning for 1st Flush Darjeeling teas that are less ‘green’ in flavor and style; that have great Darjeeling flavor without the astringent ‘bite’ of the ‘modern-style’ Darjeeling teas of the last decade or so – you are in for a treat – these are in that style. It has required some challenging sourcing, but this year we have finally found several tea-makers who excel in the more traditional style of Darjeeling manufacture.”

I buy my Darjeelings from Vahdam, Harney and Silvertips
and Yeabox.
