i normally drink whites , greens and such kind of tea.
i tried darjeeling blacks for this muscatel flavour and am at a loss. i ordered teas supposed to be strong muscatel flavour and am missing it i guess.
the second flush 2008 are for sale now and are 80 bux a pound, WOW
i got some great white tea from yunnansourcing for 35 bux and it is great. my wife thins the whites taste like normal water but i get a spectrum of flavours even to the 4th infusion, my wife just rolls her eyes and pours it in the sink. i get butter vanilla flavours.
based on my three darjeelings already received i find it hard to spend that kind of cash searching for a muscatel flavour, i thought it would have been a tartness, like burgundy red grapes.
any thoughts ?
or is it like my wife and the white tea ? do some ppl just not get the flavours ?
