Another $1 Straight tea, on the recommendation of the sales girl…
First steep: I think I left the bag in a touch too long because as lovely as this is there’s a bitterness that lingers on my tongue. Oops.
Second steep: Much improved from the first steep: earthy, smooth, slightly floral, and very much a “Darjeeling”. There’s just something about that flavour that one can’t quite describe.
Third steep: Not as flavourful as the first or second, but still steepable!
One of my favorite Darjeeling tea estates!
