This is one of the Darjeelings that I am trying to sipdown because it is getting old. I ordered this just about a year ago now. This morning I am having it after my favorite breakfast: tofu scramble + potatoes + hot sauce + lots of nutritional yeast. Anyway, this tea has a real peppery aftertaste today which I am actually rather liking.

i’ve recently ordered and am drinking 2012FF Vintage Castleton Darjeeling. Even after two years from the time of picking, it still tastes great. Debating on whether to try some of the specialty Darjeelings they have recently posted on their website.

Those are on my wish list too. Which are you most wanting to try? I’ve been especially curious to try the Darjeeling Beauty. Have you ever had/heard of a tea like it?
They all sound interesting. When their full line of 2014FF Darjeelings come in, I might try their special line if they are still available at that time. Right now, I’m still enjoying the Vintage Castleton and the High Mountain Oolong teas from Taiwan Tea Crafts. I still need to allocate some time to write a review on their wonderful Da Yu Ling.
The problem is, if I like their specialty teas, then it will substantially impact my tea budget. What’s worse, if my wife likes it, then she will constantly ask me to buy more. I can’t fault her for taste though. She has Japanese tea ceremony crudentials/certifications and she buys some incredible Japanese Greens. I went with her to her friends house and her friend is an instructor for Tea Ceremony. She served some Matcha that was the best I’ve ever tasted.
That’s very cool that your wife has studied/practiced the Japanese tea ceremony, and that you have friends who also love tea and tea culture. My boyfriend is a really good enabler when it comes to my tea budget, even though he is more into beer than tea. I’m still a Matcha (and tea, if I’m being honest) newbie, and I’m not sure if I would even be able to imagine what a really good Matcha would taste like.
