Glenburn Darjeeling Moonlight originates from the Glenburn Estate located in the Himalayas above the Rungeet River in India. This gentle black tea is made from only the most tender shoots plucked from fields that grow prized clonal bushes. Darjeeling Moonlight is made in very small batches using only the most experienced tea pickers and is manufactured with extreme care. The Glenburn Estate is working closely with the board of the Ethical Tea Partnership, which focuses on sustainability and living and working conditions of those working at tea estates, to bring the ETP to the Darjeeling region and is focused on maintaining high ethical standards. Glenburn Darjeeling Moonlight is a full-bodied mellow black tea that is sweet and has peach, floral, ginger, and fresh baked bread notes with citrus undertones and light minty end notes. The notes mingle and linger long after the sip without becoming astringent.

Glenburn Tea - DirectMMmmmmmm, I wish this was a touch cheaper so I’d have no problem adding lots more to my cart! This was very much baked bread in the sip and peach or some other stonefruit in the after taste. So good. I got two great steeps and a third okay steep out of it. It loses a bit of the fruit after the first steep. Really good.
As it turns out, I think I quite like darjeelings. I’m going to have to start actively seeking them out now.
Flavors: Bread, Peach, Stonefruit
This was another great sample from Stacy with my recent order of Three Friends. Thanks!
This one is tasty, but I definitely prefer the Glenburn Estate Darjeeling. I do think that was my favourite of the three Butiki Darjeelings I’ve tried. As for this one, it’s light and smooth.
Oh, man, was this exactly what I needed today!
I’m determined to make Ryan a gluten free birthday cake… He had an awesome ice cream cake on Saturday, but his actual birthday is today, and WHAT is a birthday WITHOUT a cake?!
So, attempt one failed…. I need to learn that when a recipe says ‘do not overbake’ that I am not who they are speaking to, since I tend to underbake things anyway….When I went to put the cake on a serving plate, the whole bottom was goo….sad, sad goo.
Attempt two is in the oven now, and I’ve got high hopes. It’s not chocolate (I ran out of cocoa), but the batter was the type that once you licked it, you wanted to KEEP licking it… that should be a good sign. I WILL NOT UNDERBAKE (I need that on a t-shirt).
OK… the tea… It’s been absolutely heavenly in between my baking trials.
As soon as the water hit the leaf, the aroma was amazing…floral, but grounded and earthy. I was in love (LOVE!) with the scent…. The liquor was honey-coloured and so, so sweet…
This tea is bright and crisp, with rock candy, apricot, and buttery notes…almost like an apricot strudel, or something, but with the most lovely floral thing going on. My first cup had absolutely no bitterness at all, and when I resteeped, the notes brought forward were welcomed and so delicious (candied citrus peel!). And the aftertaste…sweet and perfect.
This was just a sample with my last Butiki order, and I am certainly going to have to order more…. this was a favourite. :)
…now, I’ll go check on that cake.
ugh, i so know what you mean about being a chronic underbaker! i have had the whole “oh hey, it’s molten cake, by accident” discovery too. i suppose i’m so cautious about overbaking sometimes to the detriment of the cake because there are few things culinarily sadder than cake that’s too dry! :O
i love your description of the notes…rock candy, apricot, butter; strudel-y but also floral…YUM! i love the lingering aftertaste in a good darjeeling too; i feel like it doesn’t get enough love sometimes for that. fist bump!
if you are victorious with the cake i would love to know the recipe! i haven’t done enough GF baking…
dry cake is horrible….horrible. thanks for understanding. lol
I can’t wait to try more darjeelings, since I don’t know anything about them…the variegated leaf (which is from the process, I guess?) is absolutely gorgeous….the greens and browns all floating together in your cup. :)
The cake DID turn out alright! I just used this recipe, not adjusting anything….sort of sad I didn’t have to use a scale. ha!
