From Canton Tea Co

Single Estate. A classic spring black tea from Giddapahar. Discover classic notes of sweet fragrant flowers backed with slightly citrusy notes of fruits. The aroma is delightful and the flavor develops with every roll on the palate. The tea offers slight astringency which is appealing to the taste buds. The tea ends ends with a smooth slightly spicy aftertaste. A great cup of Darjeeling first flush.

The dry tea is an appealing mix of green, white and brown leaves. The tea soup is clear and golden with a fruity and vegetal aroma. The astringency is very faint, perhaps because I was careful to steep at the recommended temp of 195F and time of 2 min. I’ve learned it’s worthwhile to coddle a Darjeeling first flush a bit. Easy drinking was the result and a second steep at 208F for 5 min was a nice bonus.
