Thanks for the update @GaoShan. I didn’t order any 2024 Darjeeling yet, but now given your post I’m hoping to place an order. Unfortunately, this year Thunderbolt didn’t get any FF White Castleton Moonlight Imperial, my favorite darjeeling. Thunderbolt owner said that sadly the maker, Mr DB Gurung, passed away and the quality just wasn’t the same. Have to respect that Thunderbolt has high quality control standards.GaoShan wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 5:22 amThunderbolt is offering a 40% off sale on their FF and SF Darjeelings and I was hoping for some advice. Of the 2023 harvests, I liked the Margaret's Hope Moonlight, Turzum Basant Blossom, and Phuguri Silver Moon. Victoria and LeoFox, have you sampled any of their 2024 teas and what would you recommend? I'd prefer to get these teas while they're on sale. Otherwise, I'll be buying more gaoshan.
Req. assistance from tea experts (B/Tea: Darjeeling)!!

PM sent about white tea. Cheers
Did you end up making an order? I'm still on the fence given the amount of tea I have. The sale ends on August 7.Victoria wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 10:25 amThanks for the update GaoShan.
