I’ve come to expect excellence from the Goomtee estate and this selection is a perfect exemplar of a top shelf second flush. It’s clean and dry, and the floral high notes are balanced by a deeper, toastier base. There are not a lot of pyrotechnics here like you might find in some Castleton or Arya teas but I prefer this deep, steady and classic muscatel cup.

I have debated about purchasing this tea. After reading your review I have decided that I need to go ahead and get some. Have you tried the SUNGMA ESTATE SECOND FLUSH SFTGFOP1 MUSC. (DJ-136) ORGANIC from Upton? Heaven in a cup! :)

Yes, the Sungma is another estate I love. After I finished the DJ 136, I ordered the Goomtee. They’re pretty similar.

Bio

I love tea and living in a place that is cold or cool nine months of the year, tea is a constant source of warmth and education. I always drink tea straight and rarely drink flavored teas or Tisanes, except for the occasional Rooibos. I’m a proud father of two young boys, an avid skier, motorcyclist, reader, and runner. I have a doctorate in English (dissertation on Emily Dickinson.)
