2011 Darjeeling Autumn Flush Puttabong Green Tea

Green, unoxidized or semi-oxidized Darjeelings are hard to categorize.  As we've said before, and will undoubtedly say again, green teas from Darjeeling are not the same as those of Japan and China, nor are they intended to be.  For instance, this Puttabong autumnal green possesses a unique Darjeeling signature. It is twisted like the best of them; it is not 100% green, but has the coloration of a light oolong or what the Taiwanese call a "Bao Jong." The aroma and flavor are redolent of lightly steamed greens or lima beans just beginning to soften. The vegetal sweetness is balanced by some nuttiness and astringency. This is a tea for relaxing and refreshment.

pleasant and delightful green tea Review by Christian, Mexico

This a pleasant and delightful green tea. I might say that freshness is its main feature when opening the bag. However, its mood changes quite quickly after infusing, it becomes more serious and complex. There is a hint of mint on the wet leaves that still reminds us of that joyful character of the dry leaves. Infusion is of beautiful green trimmed with nice yellow tones, infusion is strong, with nuts and some astringency. I must say that is a playful tea, with a fresh character at the beginning and a final seriousness.
