Giddapahar Spring Gold 1st Flush 2017 Darjeeling Tea from Lochan Tea
+Tea Journeyman‘s review this week reminded me that I have yet to indulge in a 1st Flush Darjeeling from this year. Giddapahar is one of my favorite estates too!
I still have to dip into my sample of the "white tea" puerh. Something to note: According to the product notes, it was wet-piled
Jelly! It was wet-piled but not nearly as long as shou would be. It's a bit of a fuzzy grey area. I know you love those kinds of teas 🙂
Ah! I haven't had a first flush Darjeeling yet this year either! Thanks for the reminder.
Sounds like we both need to get sipping 🙂
