Risheehat SFTGFOP1: SP Darjeeling
From Upton
Tasting Notes
Done with a glass sench pot 3.5m (1st infusion) and ceramic gaiwan 3m (2nd).
- Opening the bag: sweet fermenting hay scent
- Dry observation: not so uniform in size, but certainly in colour. most small to medium leaves, with a few big ones. Nice medium brown colour, w/ some (not a lot) golden tips interspursed.
Observation in pot: medium carmel - Scent in cup: not unlike the bag, but less intense, weak.
- Wet leaf observation: more greenish-brown, more towards the greener side, too many stems.
- Flavour, taken neat: [sp]: oversteeped at 3.5m [gw]:better, less piney-tannicity, slightly nutty a bit vegital. weak.
- Flavour, taken with 1 soymilk and 1 raw sugar (*):
- Aftertaste: [sp]: not so nice, [gw] not as bad, sort of like kombu.
- First Impression: I bought how much of this?
