A lovely FF Darjeeling bought during the tea festival in June. I already tried it, but today was the delicious day.
Dry leaves smell like a typical FF Darjeeling. Quite herbal, slightly woody and slightly fruity. I put 4 grams in fillable tea bag, used almost boiling water, and voilá!. Steeping 3 minutes is absolute maximum.
It was so smooth, fruity — yellow melons and ripe stonefruits, with little herbaceous profile and little bit of astringency. That astringent note is welcomed though, because it was adding a little depth to overall pleasing experience. I have 50 grams of this tea and with its price point it is worth it!
