The threat of a snow storm had me holed up at home and what else is there to do at such a time but make a pot of Darjeeling? This particular tea hit the spot. It was hearty and brisk with notes of chocolate and spice. I can certainly see where the musk part of this tea’s name comes from because there was an earthy floral quality. The finish was dry and slightly astringent but no unpleasantly so. My second infusion was much softer than the first but the signature muscatel flavor became more apparent. Although the two infusions were very different from each other, they offered the best of both worlds. As much as I love all tea, I have a major weak spot for Darjeeling. This is the second tea that I’ve tried from this company and so far I have been very impressed. They seem to really know their stuff.

I heart your tea ware!
