From Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company

Darjeeling 1st Flush from the Thurbo tea estate. This is the first and best of the new seasons crop being picked between the 4th and 6th of April. This Darjeeling Tea Estate Thurbo 1st flush has a fine large greenish leaf with tip. A Finest Quality Darjeeling Tea that is very agreeable on the palate. Brew using boiling water and infuse for 2 – 4 minutes. A beautiful light liquor in cup with smooth round notes and a peachy character. The best tea we have tasted this year. . . . so far!

I’m so excited about the 2016 spring flush its a bit silly. I cant wait to get some decent grade fresh Darjeeling.

I’m still learning about Darjeeling grade, leaf size, and other factors that make a good cup.

This Thurbo, to me, is nice. It has a sour peach fruitiness mixed with a green leaf & lemon freshness. It works really well, once you get the brewing right, as with most FF DJ. I hit it with 70-80c and just under 3 mins, 2.75g western stylee, 12oz glass.

A touch astringency, not any bad amount to shout about. Definitely not going to throw this out of bed, and Thurbo estate is on my radar for this upcoming flush.

I liked this one, nice if you want a bright cup of something citrus-y

What was the mouthfeel like for you? Light, heavy? I’m starting to realize this is a factor in whether I’m really going to enjoy a tea. Kinda surprising to me.

Right, ive just made myself another cup. Getting nice warm golden syrup aroma from the cup.

Mouthfeel – medium thick, thin soft woody/leafy oil and this oily coating is medium dry and low astringency, leaning slightly to the dry. Soft but piquant overall – deserves attention like a sheng does, not relaxing.

I like it.

Sounds like there’s a nice tension there. Must try for me! Sorry you had to have another cup. ;)
