My last Nepal Tea sampler packet! The dry leaf looks more like a black tea to me, and the aroma of the dry leaves is very muscatel.

Steeped half the packet (4.7g) in 500ml 205F water for 3 minutes. The steeped tea also has a fruity muscatel aroma, but much stronger is a cocoa aroma (which I rarely smell in teas). Also a floral honey aroma note.

Mmm. I think I’d rank this in my favorites from all the Nepal Tea samplers. There is a deep cocoa and earthy mineral flavor, with a more subtle roasty/smoky element. There is a bit of a Darjeeling-esqe muscatel note, as well. The aftertaste on my tongue is sort of a muddle spices and plum flavor, and some lingering floral rose.

Very enjoyable!

Those notes remind me of the Ruby Darjeeling Oolong I got from Young Mountain two years ago that I still haven’t finished. It personally tastes more like a black tea than an oolong, even having yellow trichomes. Sweet, but it’s got a drying back bone I’m not a fan of.

This one also reminds me more of a black tea than an oolong, but I quite enjoyed it!

The more I drank this the more I appreciated it. Oolongs can be a bit too “toasty” for my taste but this had more of a subtle toasted flavor that I could appreciate. As someone else said, it’s not an every day tea but it’s one I’d like to have on hand.

I wish I weighed my teas more before I steep them. I felt that this cup was very good, but I don’t know how much tea I used.

200F, palmful, 2min, 12oz water.
plum, fruity, thick, floral, creamy, wood/roast-hint

I think this is the best I’ve had this tea.

If you want to enjoy flavor that unfolds over the course of steepings with some complexity this is good. Good to change it up, but maybe not an every day tea.
