First Flush Darjeelings
First Flush Darjeelings
The 2008 first flush DJs have started to be offered for sale (see for
example http :// www .uptontea,com /shopcart/item.asp?itemID=TD93). The price
is rather high -- anytime a blurb is offered which contains the words
"fierce bidding" you know they are explaining a price that they feel to be
unusual. I like a tippy Darjeeling, but a recent vein of bad luck means
that I'm more conscious of paying 28.80 USD for only 50g (1¼ oz.) of tea…
Has anyone tasted the FFDJs yet, and would they comment as to the effect
that winter conditions in India have had as to price vs. taste?
Thanks.
