From Vahdam Teas

This is the energetic autumnal from one of our best-known estates in Darjeeling. The greyish dry leaves have a hint of tips among them which have been well-rolled and lend a clear scent, when you open the pack. The brew is light and bright, just as mellow as the autumn evening sun. The tea offers a beautiful sweet undertone of ripe fruit. Perfect for rejuvenation on a late afternoon. Read Le

Sticking with western brewing today as it takes less of my time while I am building a new display cabinet from Ikea for holding tea and teaware. This is a fairly nice black tea. Not as tasty as a first flush black tea but much stronger. So far all thye teas I have tried from Vahdam Teas have been good. This one is not bitter or astringent but I am not sure how to describe the main note. This one is strong enough that you could add milk if you wanted.

I steeped this one time in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity Steeper with 3 tsp leaf and 190 degree water for 3 minutes.

I have a ripe cake from 2011 I’d trade. I bought a couple from a chinese woman not knowing altitude or location of farm.
