From Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company

Goomtee 1st Flush FTGFOP1 Darjeeling Tea. One of the best first flushes currently in stock. Very full leaf with good tip content. Light colour in cup with that wonderful delicate flavour that only the best seasons teas produce. Brew with boiling water and infuse for 2 to 4 minutes.

Ive Just been drinking this after the 2014 Thurbo, which has some really serious flavour & decent thick aroma, it didnt really stand a chance.

This doesnt have the same body, its lighter and thinner, more flowing. Deeper muscatel aroma (for a FF) but also woody and not as fruity, syrupy or floral tasting as I like.

Reminded me of Roobois a bit, end result was me trying to push the flavour, which is a recipe for disaster. When the astringency comes out the sweetness is still delicate, so there is no counterbalance & the sour just took over a bit too much.

Possibly nice if brewed for a delicate cup before bringing out something with punch.

Might be a year old took its toll. I like FF Goomtee, but when new.
