My local tea shoppe has been raving about a first flush 2009 Namring they got in a month ago. The best in years they claimed. I brewed a pot and it also struck me as no other Darjeeling Ive tasted. The dry leaf is a GFOP with lots of white tip as the grade indicates. The secret was revealed when I inspected the infused leaf which is green with a trace of red oxidation. The faint muscatel taste sweet and smells floral. My tongue puckered without any taste of harshness. You have to hit the sweet spot when brewing. Id like to see more green Darjeeling if this typical. I think too mild for breakfast but it is on my list of evening teas. This is one of those teas that grow on you.

PS I added the maybe because looking at the infused pictures of Namring on the Internet they look green also.
