This is an excellent tea. Not really sure how to describe the notes. I am relatively new to first flush Darjeelings. I only know that these teas taste nothing like a traditional black tea, nor a green, nor a oolong. Perhaps they should be considered a seventh type of tea. While there were a lot of green leaves in the tea it does not taste vegetal or grassy. Not sure if I would say this one is muscatel.
Brewed this twice in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker with 3 tsp leaf and 190 degree water. I steeped it for 3 min and 4 min. Put the second steeping in a thermosfor work.

It should technically be an oolong.. since its partially oxidized, more than a green but less than a black.
