2012 Darjeeling First Flush Giddapahar China Special Black Tea

One of the earliest lots from Giddapahar has a delicate astringency with sweet fruit notes. Giddapahar is a very well known family owned garden in Darjeeling and have been increasing its quality of teas yield every year. Quite green and somewhat "unripe" in character with interesting second flush qualities, including a hint of muscatel and spice.  If floweriness and complexity is not your "cuppa," this is the tea for you!

Great FF Tea Review by Massimiliano

Great FF Tea Review by Massimiliano

I've received my order for the first time from Darjeelling tea express about an hour ago and could't wait to share with you all my feelings about this great Tea, which has been ordered on friday afternoon and arrived here in Milan-Italy on monday morning( 3 days...1 working day, extremely fast delivery ) It has an excellent flavour and to be honest I even appreciate the second brew better than the first one,less bitter-more flowery and the flavour sticks in your mouth for long time.Very fresh FF tea and excellent value, highly recommended for all FF Darjeeling lovers....brewed as for now twice at 95 degrees celsius for 3.5 minutes, I recommend not to drink it "extremely hot", I've appreciated a higher flavour once the temperature went a bit down.....just can't wait to try the other teas
