Steeping Time: 2 minutes
The dry leaf aroma has notes of grapes and sweet grains.
The liquor is copper-red with a sweet and tart aroma of muscat grapes and grains. The taste is almost mouthwatering with notes of muscat grapes, a hint of floral, and mild astringency.
This was a fine example of a 2nd Flush Darjeeling with flavor profile that I was hoping for. Brewing for 2 minutes kept the astringency to a pleasant level, allowing all of the flavor notes to shine. The astringency increases notably with successive infusions and, of course, a longer steeping time will bring it forward faster for those who prefer a bolder brew.
