Got this with my order yesterday. It is a very light colored and light tasting tea. It does not taste like a black, a green, or an oolong to me. It is very hard to describe. It is classified as a black tea but has a lot of green leaves. The green leaves don’t give off a vegetal note however. It does have that Muscatel grape note to it. It is a very good tea.
I brewed this one time in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Teta Maker/Gravity Steeper with 3 tsp leaf and 190 degree water for 3 minutes.
Flavors: Muscatel

First flush Darjeelings have been kind of giving me some trouble figuring out too, as they dont really fit into any of the normal categories.
Yes they might even be called a seventh type of tea.
Very true. They certainly are not Hongcha.. nothing Hong about them g Alltogether, I’d say, Oolong is the closest thing, even though there are some white teas which are very close.
