I have the worst luck with darjeeling – like assam I always tend to oversteep, so I kept this one on the short side of the spectrum.

It’s…mid-range. Brews up deep amber and the flavors are solid – a bit tannic, some mineral notes – but nothing that really sparks to life on the palate. This, to me, would be a mindless tea – something to drink while working or focused elsewhere since there’s nothing to really pay attention to in the cup.

(Tbh, though, if I’m going that route I’d pull an earl grey or chai first. Perhaps this would be better suited for blending with…something?)

Preparation
Boiling 2 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

Self-employed, sleep deprived and always on the go.

Trying to cut down on caffeine – trying being the operative word – but I’m generally an Earl Grey drinker with a strong aversion to coconut, jasmine and chocolate in my tea.

I brew almost exclusively Western style, unsweetened.

If you see something in my cupboard and want to try it, hit me up – I’m always down to sell/trade samples
