Advent Tea Calendar Day 2
Teahouse Kuan Yin
Type: Black
Origin: Avongrove Estate, Darjeeling, India
Product Description: Not provided.
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 3 minutes
The dry leaves have a spicy aroma with notes of wood, fruit, and even pepper.
The light amber infusion has an aroma of flowers and honey with a floral taste and a velvet finish.
This tea was a bit more powerful in flavor than I was expecting for a 2012 Darjeeling and I would like to try it again at a slightly lower brewing temperature. At three steepings this tea remained aromatic and flavorful. I noticed notes of honey more in the second steeping than in the first and third.
I purchased this tea from Teahouse Kuan Yin in early 2013, and it appears that they do not currently have it in stock.
