Our Castleton Moonlight Darjeeling originates from the Castleton Tea Estate in India. Located in Kurseong (Kurseong translates to Land of the White Orchids), the Castleton Tea Estate dates back to 1885 and is named after a local structure that looks like a castle. This tea is a Second Flush Darjeeling that utilizes Chinese tea bushes. Our Castleton Moonlight Darjeeling is an oolong tea with AA graded leaves and is grown at an altitude of between 4,300 feet and 6,500 feet. Rich almond, pine nut, honeysuckle, and melon notes can be detected. This lovely tea finishes with hay and floral notes.

TeaboxMy first tea from Butiki! This tea tastes very floral but I can pick up a bit of licorice or a tad sour. I’m glad I ordered a sample because I’m not quite sure if the tea is for me. It’s delicious, but something about it doesn’t knock my socks off.
Siopdown 6 of 2016. A sample. Received 3/2014 – Finished 1/2016.
This is an old sample that was not stored well. It is a sweet warm cup this morning. It brewed up light with hints of vanilla.
I have spent way too much time reading discussions the past few days on here. As entertaining as it has been I really hope things get back to a more “normal” state soon.
Butiki Taste Testing Traveling Tea Box – Tea #1
I’m thrilled to have another teabox to try teas from! Technically, this isn’t the FIRST tea I’m trying from the tea box, but most of the box is full of samples that Butiki had and don’t really have a name to them, just a tea type. So my tasting notes might be slowed for a while, as I’m tasting things I can’t write notes for (though there will be a giant tasting note when I mail the box.) THIS one I can write a tasting note for though!
Steep #1 // 25 min after boiling // 3 min
I used 2 1/2 teaspoons though I was supposed to use three. I wanted to leave enough leaves for one more cup for someone else. For three teaspoons, the flavor is very light. Very good, but very light. It’s sweet and a little fruity. I couldn’t guess this was a black tea at all or really a Darjeeling but I definitely think I brewed it the right way. Not terrible but I think even my Darjeelings need more to them.
Steep #2 // 25 min after boiling // 3 min
This cup was basically the same as the other. I like this, but if I steep up a Darjeeling, I need a complex Darjeeling!
