It takes a lot for me to say a tea is perfect. That and I’ve only ever encountered one perfect Darjeeling. Well, I think that’s been upstaged…by an oolong, no less. Castleton has produced an oolong that is both muscatel and dipped in creamy/fruity/floral nuances. It was a hard tea to identify…and even harder to put my adulation into words. Truly a perfect a cup, in my opinion.

you were one of the lucky ones to get this tea from Thunderbolt….if I remember it sold out pretty quickly!
I know. Benoy Thapa – the purveyor of Thunderbolt – was telling me how it vanished rather quickly.
I ordered from them in 2009, and before I could pick it up at the PO ( wasn’t home to sign for it), they sent it back to India! I remember choosing a couple really nice Darj teas. In 2010, I ordered two really nice Darj’s, Puttabong & Goomtee, both were amazing. I liked the Puttabong better though. 2011 teas sold out so fast…again there were a few I was gonna order, and I missed out….before I knew it, they were gone! Thunderbolt has some of the freshest Darjeeling teas! :) Benoy really knows how to pick winners. I’m not going to miss out in 2012!
Top teas and very fair prices.
