Backlogging a bit…
On one of my all-to-regular Monday visits to Smith HQ, I had the pleasure of trying this. It was my first Darjeeling of the 2012 batch, and – boy – was it different. Where most first flushes taste like spring leaves and spices, this had an added toasty element I didn’t quite expect. With the spicy-grape and leafy underpinning, this was a more-than-pleasant intro to the new Darjeeling crop.

Sounds VERY nice!
It is. Quite different from the usual fair.
looks like I’m going to need to get my husband to take me to Smith’s shop again!
I would say yes. I’m there usually once a week.
