Re: What Black Are You Drinking

the last black tea I try from the Yatra sampler ends up being my favorite It's hard for me sometimes to get through those samples in a timely way.....too often I've realized that a late-opened sample is fabulous but already sold out. Hope you're in time to get more of your favorite! This happens to...

Re: What Black Are You Drinking

Puttabong First Flush 2018 black tea - dry leaf smells heavily of dark chocolate, nice! Wet leaf is sweet and a little smoky per my gf's nose. Liquor is a lovely, bright, golden hue and smells honey - fruity sweet. First taste a little bland... one note... but the more and more I drink it... the be...

Re: Hi from Vikram at Yatra Tea Company!

Good morning - woke up to some snow accumulation here in Cambridge, MA. After a cup of some excellent Darjeeling, we spent the next 30 mins shoveling/playing with the dog in the snow. Not a bad way to begin the week! And to get your week started off right, we're continuing our 20% discount at Yatra ...

Re: What Black Are You Drinking

You're right - the Halmari Assam is the one I meant, not the Nepali black. Tonight's choice is the Castleton white. I started at 185 for 15s and got nothing. I was worried it was the tea or something I did. I tried 4 or 5 infusions before it dawned on me that I couldn't taste anything because I had...

Re: What Black Are You Drinking

I drank some 2018 Singbulli Estate First Flush Darjeeling from Yatra this morning and came to ask why it was so green, and here the vendor is talking about just the same thing! Mind you, I only used 2.5g in 100ml gaiwan, which might be too little, but the liquor came out yellow. Maybe that's to be ...

Re: What Black Are You Drinking

Sorry, didn’t mean to correct you just wanted to clarify. I often refer to Taiwan Oriental Beauty as black, even though it is actually a highly oxidized oolong. YatraTeaCo how well would you say 1st flush Darjeeling age after packaging? Are intentionally aged or fermented Darjeeling a thing? I have...

Re: What Black Are You Drinking

Aren't all black teas fully oxidised by definition? :mrgreen: Technically, yes. But consider Darjeeling First Flush teas. They continue to be categorized and sold as black teas, even thought they are processed in a manner similar to oolongs. While I can't change the way the Tea Board of India offic...
