Haveteawilltravel drank Darjeeling Castleton Muscatel Black Tea Second Flush by Golden Tips Tea Co Pvt Ltd

526 tasting notes

I’ve been drinking this at work, and it’s a fairly decent Darjeeling. The leaf includes small black clippings with some gold spotting spread throughout. The brew is a well rounded cuppa with some brief malt tones. The drink carries a sweet woody base with a smooth body and some slight spice. I was not picking up any floral or flowery tones. This is a good basic daily drinker. The cup isn’t bitter and tannic, but it wasn’t something to rave about. This is a nice basic black that helped get me through the day.

Flavors: Malt, Smooth, Spices, Sweet, Wood

Preparation

Boiling 3 min, 30 sec 2 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

Bio

Young and experienced Tea consumer. I’m continuously learning and developing knowledge about tea. If I have learned anything at all from the world of tea it is that I do not know anything about the world of tea. I enjoy good tea, and I try to acquire the best of the best. I usually brew gongfu but I’ve been known from time to time to resort back to western brewing.

I have an Instagram (haveteawilltravel), and I am proud of my photographs. I use my pictures in my reviews,and I hope that they aid in portraying the beauty of tea and teaware.

Tea Rating System:
I rate my teas based on the category they fall into (Puer, Red, Oolong, Darjeeing, Flushes, Yancha… etc.)
This means that I will rate a Oolong based on how it stands up as a quality Oolong. I try not to compare teas, rather I work to evaluate them on their craftsmanship, harvest, processing, and qi.

I am most strict with Shou and Sheng Puerh, only because of the vast expanse of various experiences, such as; region, vintage, production, processing, etc.
