I made this as a point of reference for tasting Harney and Sons Puttabong First Flush. I like this! It is dark in color and dark and musky/earthy/grape-y in flavor. It is also worlds different from the Harney tea to me, proving once again that the world of tea is full of variety and wealth to experience.

Bio
I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about ten years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.
We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.
I am also reviewing for Sororitea Sisters now!

Nice comparisons!
IMO – It’s amazing how darjeelings can be so different from each other! The flush and the estate does seem to make a difference.
