Once I had come to appreciate the flavors & effect of drinking darjeeling, I've wanted it daily. To me & other drinkers, darjeeling is its own category. I am taking a rare break from the darjeeling-style "black" tea from Nepal that I drink & sell because I opened a 100-gram bag of white tea that is...

Currently savoring a late night cup of 2017 Castleton 2nd Flush. Both FF and SF Darj have become daily drinkers for me. I ought to restock soon, as a hedge against this year's harvest being adversely affected by garden neglect from 2017. I might give either darjeelingteaboutique or darjeelingtealov...

We're back from our trip to Asia! A much needed break where we got to spend time with our families and talk tea as well. Looking forward to growing as a vendor in the new year. Hope to bring in some top teas from India and Nepal! Right now, through the end of the week, all our full sized teas are ma...

That’s too much froth to be saponins IMO.

I’ve seen similar froth with bagged tea. But to be fair, I do not have any experience with this type of tea.

Nice to see you here. I can vouch for all 9 of the Spring 2017 teas I tried from Yatra as being high-quality and enjoyable. Have a pleasant trip! Hi Joel - good to see you! Thanks for the kind words about the FF teas. I am glad you enjoyed them. Hopefully the trip will be pleasant. These long fligh...

Hi again! We have a few things going on in our shop. In about a week, we head east to our homes to spend some time with our families. I usually use this opportunity to meet up with my friends in the tea industry and discuss sourcing. In the past the conversations have been quite general, but now I'l...

Unfortunately with a full time job and trying to establish myself as a tea vendor I find myself running from pillar to post more often than not. When I do find some quiet time at home, a cup of tea is quickly prepared. I try to just enjoy the tea - this usually means minimal distractions, so no TV, ...
