This First Flush Darjeeling Blend is quite delicate for a black tea, in line with the general characteristics of first flush Darjeelings. It has notes of grass, apricot and a slight muscatel aftertaste. The second infusion leans more heavily towards the grassy and muscatel notes, and doesn’t seem to loose strength. I generally favour second flush Darjeelings, but this is a pleasant tea, well suited to summer afternoons when I prefer lighter flavours.

Flavors: Apricot, Grass, Muscatel

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 3 min, 30 sec 2 g 10 OZ / 300 ML

Bio

I’m a law student from northern Italy, I discovered tea thanks to a dear friend. She always invited me at her home in Venice and offered me a different kind of tea every time. I ended up ditching the supermarket teabags in favour of loose leaf. I drink a lot of flavoured teas, but I like pure teas too, especially Darjeeling, Nilgri and Yunnan. I am all in favour of trying new teas and new blends, and I’m in no way a tea purist, experimenting with flavours intrigues me. My other hobbies include knitting, crocheting, jewellery making in a variety of techniques, and reading.
