just john drank 2015 Singbulli First Flush Darjeeling by Happy Earth Tea

26 tasting notes

I am working my way through some samples from Happy Earth Tea. Most of them have been good, some okay. This one is great. It is so juicy, so fresh. Such a balanced cup, both sweet and perfectly astringent. Every sip leaves me wanting another taste. This is one of the best Darjeelings I have had since the fresh ones I received last spring from Teabox.

Flavors: Apple, Floral, Grapes, Lemongrass

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 3 min, 30 sec 3 g 7 OZ / 207 ML

Bio

Attempting to live a simple life in Kansas City with my amazing wife and five wonderful children. I have approximately 1,752 interests and right at the top of that list is tea. I am a big fan of unflavored teas of all sorts. I will always try something new.

I went for a long time without rating or reviewing teas. I tried, I really did, but it always seemed that by the time I had put the experience into words I had lost the experience that I had originally fallen in love with. Tea for me is best as it is. In the leaf. In the pot. In the cup. Now I am finding myself years later and wishing I had a better record of the teas I have tried, something, oh I don’t know, like a tea log… And so I am attempting to leave tasting notes on here again.

I am never short for words when it comes to tea, so if you want to talk or try anything in my cupboard don’t hesitate to ask.
