And here’s another sample from derk ♥
This one is very light, smooth and fairly thick (for a green tea). I didn’t pick much in the smell, but that could very well be due to the fact that it’s from 2017 Autumn pick. The taste is a mix of savoury and sour, the notes like olive and lime mentioned in the description are present for sure. Like derk, I also find it hard to describe. My favourite aspect of the tea is probably the drying and vegetal aftertaste, which is very pleasant. Overall, I think it’s an ok tea that I wouldn’t mind getting at some point. However, I feel like it’s a little pricy for what it offers, I suppose as a result of being from Darjeeling.
