People it is sooooo hot in my neck of the woods!!! Even the birds are staying hidden in the shade.
I’ve had this First Flush Darjeeling for a while now and was afraid it would have lost it’s freshness. I was wrong. It was stored properly, and it’s amazing how fresh and tasty it still is.
This is kind of sour and sweet at the same time, peachy and citrusy.
Super juicy and floral, it’s really the perfect tea for this incredibly hot and humid day!
FF Darjeeling are lighter than SF, but this is bolder than average, fuller bodied.
As it cools, those citrus notes are even more present, this would almost qualify as a lemon/peach/grapefruit “flavoured” tea, that’s how tasty it is.
(Mmm, I have to remember to add that combination of fruits in my next iced tea pitcher)
I haven’t drank enough Darjeeling this year, I’ve missed them. I still have a little bit from Butiki’s sampler, will drink those in no time.
I love a darjeeling that really “pops” with that zesty, tart fruity flavor that you mentioned.
I’ve been feeling the darjeelings lately too. They seem like summer teas, at least to me.
I agree. Nepalese teas produced in the same manner can be just as good as Darjeelings too, for a bit less money.
