34 Tasting Notes
This was really nice — a very balanced darjeeling that’s sweet, and has a wonderful aroma. Opens up as it cools down.
Much nicer on first steep, I misjudged the timing a bit, so my second steep was a bit less flavorful.
I think I’m going to try a lower water temperature next time.
Preparation
Continuing to work my way through what-cha’s discover collection, and I saved this one for a cool Sunday evening at home.
Tried 30-45 second steeps @ 185.
First steeping had a wonderful floral aroma and I can see why what-cha mentions corn in the tasting notes.
Second steeping started to get a subtle melon flavor, but the corn was still dominant.
Third had a slight jasmine taste.
Overall, would drink again, will wait to get a larger sample till I’m done drinking my way through all the oolongs though.
