Here is a great opportunity to discover how a Chinese tea produced according to the 1st flush Darjeeling method of production can taste! Mr He has followed the protocol provided by Camellia Sinensis to create this small experimental batch.
These carefully rolled leaves produce a lively and grassy liquor embellished with mild floral and citrus scents. A step forward in the creation of new teas

Dream About TeaThis tea caught my attention during my Spring 2014 harvest purchase. It’s a Chinese tea produced with the methods of FF Darjeeling teas. I love trying new (novelty?) teas, and this one exceeded my expectations. I’ve been drinking a bit of it on and off since my spring tea purchase two months ago, and here are my tasting notes from my tea session today:
Tea liquor has a medium yellow color, and the wet tea leaves smell like a Darjeeling tea.
Sipping from my single long steep, notes of spices and a rich fruit flavour really grabbed my attention. The tea body itself is light and refreshing, not dull or flat. It doesn’t really taste like a Darjeeling to me, but it has some nice similarities.
Overall I think the method they used to make this tea sets it apart from both ‘just a Darjeeling’ or ‘just a Chinese black tea’. The qualities of the terroir give it a smooth tea body, and the method imparts a unique flavor for a Chinese tea.
Worth a try if you love Chinese black teas and want something different.
