Nice bright green aroma in a lovely light cup- but with a surprising burst of mango at the start of the sip! This is an extremely flavorful first flush Darjeeling with deep, lush fruity notes and a crisp burst of natural sweetness. A light citrus taste lingers after the sip; almost like orange zest playing with the tannins. I really enjoyed this tea from the 2014 harvest!

Bio

I’m a 24-year old grad student who’s been drinking tea since I was itty bitty and having tea parties with my grandmother. Got serious about it my freshman year of college and have been exploring the wide world of loose-leaf ever since!

I like pretty much anything, really, except for blends that are super heavy on the sugar. The only thing I’ve ever truly hated was Teavana’s JavaVana Maté. As Scary Terry so famously said, these halves don’t belong together.

My ratings are pretty arbitrary. Anything above an 80 I like enough that I’d probably buy it again at some point after I run out; anything above 90 basically gets an A. Anything under 70 and I probably didn’t like it too much.
