Interesting, not one I know. What's it like? And is this a First Flush or a Second Flush? (For reference, the ones I'm familiar with include Margaret's Hope, Okayti, Namring, and Puttabong.)

For me, this morning, after a difficult night with the senior dog, Wally, it's Peet's Summatra Blend coffee.

Second flush (it's this one).

A fellow tea drinker offered me some to try and it's the first single-estate Darjeeling that I've had. It has a nice and relatively strong fruity sweetness with little bitterness. It's good, but I don't think it offers enough to justify the higher price (it's several times the price of the Darjeelings on my shelf).

Price is about what I'd expect for a good, single estate, second flush. You'll always pay more for a single estate Darjeeling. I tend more towards First Flushes, since I like the mild greeness of them for summer afternoons, but I might just add this one to my cart for the next time I order. I'm low on decent Darjeelings right now anyway, since I seem to have been drinking mostly Breakfast blends and oolongs of late. Oh, and China Blacks such as Keemun. The winter tends to push me to China Blacks.

Finishing up my morning's fresh squeezed orange juice (yes, I really do squeeze OJ every single morning), and moving on to a big mug of Major Dickason's Blend coffee. Going to be one of those days, I can tell already.

Coca-Cola.

Finishing up morning coffee and switching to water next.

Cearuil · 02-26-2016, 06:02 PM

Warm water made possible by the kettle and my thumb (which has to remain on the button in order for it to work)... sometimes the box of unwanted figs does the trick too.

Third tea for the day.
