This tea I got from Leafhopper so thank you! Unlike derk I got 2022 harvest year. And moreover, I can compare it with its first flush I got from Siam Tee — note to be found here: http://steepster.com/Martin-CZE/posts/443764 (copy and paste it).

Anyway, I steeped my 4 grams in my western basket longer than I have thought, roguhly 5 minutes, but hopefully it won’t cause any big troubles.
Well, I got a very brisk tea, but no bitterness or astringency to be found. A bit more tannic, instead and somehow standard SF Darjeeling There were autumn leaf pile aromas and hints of orange in flavour,along with lots of malts and little of woody aftertaste (but well, long steep). Definitely better than its FF.

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 5 min, 0 sec 4 g 10 OZ / 300 ML

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Black teas are preferred, but I am drinking almost anything.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Working in logistics.

Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you.
