Backlog:
Based on what I tasted from this Darjeeling, i am guessing it is a first flush. I am gauging that guess based upon the fact that I didn’t get a strong “muscatel” note from the tea, and typically, the second flush offers more muscatel than the first.
This is more woodsy and a somewhat “leafy” taste – evoking thoughts of a walk through the woods after a rain. (I live in the Pacific Northwest, there is a lot of densely wooded areas and it rains here a lot … or perhaps another way to put it would be that occasionally it doesn’t rain.)
Floral tones in the distance and hints of fruity notes which become more prominent as the tea cools.
