Actually I want to compare it with morning tea, which was from Giddapahar, but I read it same way… but found out it’s different, so no comparing will be here.
It’s again from Around the World in 8 Teas Selection Box by Curious Tea! and next two teas are green, so maybe once the wather will be a little warmer, the timing will be a bit better.
Anyway, back to this Darjeeling. It’s first flush, which is apparent from color as well as from scent both dry tea and brewed tea. It’s very floral, citrus zest very is apparent and almost sour.
In taste, flavours are again floral; with again complementing citrus zest, very “bright” and almost sour as well. While I generally like FF Darjeelings, this has been somehow a bit too much; and while it was cooling down, it started to turn to woody notes, which was strange and weid and unpleasant mineral aftertaste. I shall try more steeps, hopefully soon. This time it was single-steep session. Maybe other steeps will develop more from black tea profile, as expected and hoped for.
