ohfancythat drank Castleton Darjeeling Second Flush by Single Origin Teas

652 tasting notes

I wasn’t kidding when I said i was going through old teas. My last review for this was four years ago, and here i am still with a tiny baggie of it.

Good news – I didn’t oversteep this time! I think i enjoy Darjeelings. I would like to make a point of trying some more in the future. This was a nice cup to start my morning with.

Where can I get a super delicious Darjeeling?? Any recommendations? (where shipping to Canada isn’t hilariously costly)

I’m not a huge fan of Darjeeling, but I believe What-Cha has some quality Darjeelings. I’ve ordered from them before and I like them a lot. They are an English company. Of course, I’m in the US so I can’t speak for the shipping to Canada. http://what-cha.com/brands/India.html

Hello!

I love tea. I love my mini-me daughter, my husband, my dog Wally, Netflix, shopping, and tea. Some other stuff too, but these are the most important!

Some favourites -

My new favourite tea company is A Quarter to Tea. I love the flavouring used and how it doesn’t seem fake, and the combinations are so delicious. Right up my alley.

My favourite teas are black, I love Laoshan Black and Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black tea from TTC. Also many of Teavivre’s black teas.

Butiki teas RIP, I loved how the flavours were subtle and not fake tasting and didn’t overwhelm the tea base. Trust that I am dramatically mourning the loss of this company!

Teavivre, Whispering Pines and Mariage Freres are some more tea companies I appreciate. Along with Davidstea as it was the ‘gateway drug’ to my tea addiction. Though I’m mostly over it now, I’ve definitely moved on from the artificially flavoured teas and am trying more quality straight teas!

My ultimate goal is to try as many French teas as possible – and to finally find a source in Canada for Mariage Freres so I can buy Wedding Imperial, and Black Orchid for sure.

I would like to try any Taiwanese Assams that exist in the world!

Also continuously on the hunt for Fauchon – La Naissance. If anyone has some of this I would pay for it!!! It’s my number one all time favourite tea.

When I rate, it goes like this:

85 -100 = WIN! awesome, I love this and keep it on hand
70 – 85 = pretty darn good but I don’t NEED to own it
55 – 70 = not necessarily terrible but not a tea for me!
30 – 55 = missed the mark as far as I am concerned. Wouldn’t drink it willingly.
0 – 30 = I likely won’t rate this low very often, so if you see it, consider the tea a great big FAIL and probably disgusting.
