DRY LEAF: Long wiry whole leaves fragrant with fruity notes and pepper. A smell almost like a rich red wine!
INFUSION: The wet leaves are deep brown with streaks of olive green. It has a nose of fruity, floral notes, a hint of camphor and citrus notes.
CUP: A bright red-orange cup with a honeyed sweetness of ripe peach and muscatel. It has a smooth, creamy texture with a complex flavor and a very satisfying mouth feel.

DarjeelingTeaXpressI like this one quite a bit. It’s very fruity. I’m mostly getting dried apricot, which really comes out in the aftertaste. There’s just a hint of something floral lurking in the background, and exactly enough astringency to keep things interesting. It’s complex, full bodied, and an all-around enjoyable tea.
To be honest, I have a hard time picking out the differences among Darjeelings—I can tell a first flush from a second, but beyond that I’m lost. I don’t get the whole muscatel thing either; neither this nor any other Darjeeling I’ve tried strikes me as particularly wine-like (although I admit I’m not much of a wine drinker) and I only occasionally get grape notes. I do tend to like second flushes quite a bit, though, and this one’s no exception. Thanks to Nicole_Martin for the sample!
i like 2nd flash or autumn more than 1st. less finicky with temps and time, more flavor. i love strong stone fruit flavor.
Same here. I really enjoy cold-steeped first flush, but otherwise I find they tend to be too grassy and herbal for my liking.
