Darjeeling from Singtom Estate’s 2nd Flush

It has been a while since my last post (almost three years), but fortunately only several hours since my last pot of tea.  Interesting years, full of changes and adventures big and small, but tea has made an appearance in most of the intervening episodes.

Recently, I have been on a kick of drinking unflavored black teas, sometimes blends, but tonight a cup of Singtom Estate’s 2nd Flush is keeping me company.  This Darjeeling is just a little astringent and substantially more robust than a typical Darjeeling; delicious.  Mostly, it seems I have been returning to the flavors and blends that are most familiar.  I image this is not uncommon on cold winter nights to seek out enduring comforts.

Anyhow, put the pot back on the boil.  I am looking forward to actively exploring more of tea and tea culture with you.
