An organic and well manufactured second flush black tea from the Rungbong valley region in Darjeeling district. Handpicked from clonal bushes at the Selimbong plantations, the brown-black leaves with select silver tips prepare a bright liquroing cup with a complex character and a slightly fruity finish. The aroma is discernable and the the aftertaste leaves a woody essence flushed in the mouth.

im coming to understand that i dont care for many teas other than Chinese blacks, and possibly greens. I have been through several darjeeling, and several oolong, and while they are pleasant, none really make me say “I like this!” like a good yunnan black can. But this one is just about there :)
The leaves smell slightly floral, and kinda like a classic Chinese black. The leaves are short, and thin, only slightly curly. The colors in the bag range from black to light brown, with even some silver sprinkled in.
I used 1.5 tsp for 10 oz water, tired of sipping on (what i consider) weaker tea. I used 190 degree water, for 3 min, adding a min for the second steep.
The liquor is a red tinged dark amber. It smells of floral honey. It has a nice earthy tone, undercut with light floral notes, and even less malt as in a classic Chinese black.
A slight astringency becomes noticeable as the tea cools, but is only there if you look for it. I did not notice any real bitterness, but i am used to drinking strong Chinese blacks, so i might not notice anymore lol.
For a darjeeling, this was quite pleasant, and if i have to pick a darjeeling to drink from now on out of the ones i have tried, this would be it.
This is really good, but really hard to describe. It has a little natural sweetness, no bitterness if brewed properly (I brew pretty much all blacks at 200 to avoid this), and a bit of fruitiness. The rest is earthy in a way I don’t think I am very talented at describing, but I quite like it.
