I’ve already written two notes for this tea, but I wanted to write another one after drinking it today because my love and appreciation for this tea continue to grow. It’s so good, sweet for a Darjeeling green, but not overly sweet. I did 3 steeps of 3, 3.5 and 4 minutes, and it actually seemed to get a little sweeter with each steep. The tea is exceptionally smooth for a green tea. I’m so glad I ordered a lot of it…I have to make it last!
I’m a tea novice, and I’m loving my introduction to the World of Tea. I started getting into tea about 4 years ago when I lived in Brooklyn, NY. At first, I stayed with green teas, and took black teas completely for granted. However, in the last couple years I have enthusiastically added them to my daily routine. I love strong Assam black teas in the morning, and Japanese green teas in the afternoon, especially matcha and gyokuro. I have recently become a big fan of Keemuns. I’m looking forward to learning about new teas on this site and talking to other tea lovers!
As far as ratings go, don’t trust me. I’m a high rater, and I’m easily impressed. If I rate a tea lower than 70 (which is going to happen rarely, it seems), I probably will not drink that tea again. I will splurge for some teas at times, but I love a bargain, so you will often see me celebrating under-appreciated everyday teas.
