This tea has quite a bit of astringency for a light tea. I did not particularly like it at first, but it started to grow on me as I sipped it more. I have to admit, I have stayed away from Darjeelings for a while, but I think I will have to bring them back. Does Darjeeling mix well with Assam or Ceylon? I wonder if strength and maltiness would make a good product or just create a mess and wreck the complexity of a Darjeeling tea.

I do know that Darjeeling adds an amazing sparkle to Keemun! I do a blend of 2 parts Keemun and 1 part Darjeeling. Positively incredible! I understand that this type of blend had some popularity among the nobility in Edwardian England and Imperial Russia.
Wow, that sounds amazing! I’ve been drinking Keemun like crazy these days, and I would have to say it’s currently my favorite kind of tea. I have a lot of Darjeeling around, I’ll definitely give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation!
Happy to help, Mike! Enjoy! :)
