Darjeeling Puttabong Summer

This is a Black tea from India the region of Darjeeling. I have not liked Darjeelings in the past but i have come around to them as of late.

Taste:
Woody with a light floral after taste, not bitter even with a 5min brew. A very neutral black tea, no malt like characteristics like most black teas.  Brews to a medium amber.

Brew for 5min @212F

Ooooh Darjeeling

This is an Indian oolong from Darjeeling, not to-many oolongs from that region. I have always found Darjeeling to be a bit too floral for my liking, however this oolong has most of the overarching flavors of black Darjeelings but not as overpowering. I wouldn't call it my favorite oolog but is a nice bridge between the black Darjeelings and itself.

Taste:
Sweet, very floral and not bitter one bit. Brews to a dark amber

Brew for 4min @ 212F (in most cases 212F is a bit to hot however with this oolong the usual 180F yields a tepid cup so go with boiling )
