Dárdžilingský muškátový zlatý černý čaj

The second flush really shows here — that muscatel grape sweetness hits on the first sip and lingers. I've been brewing it at three minutes and it stays smooth without turning bitter.

That coppery amber liquor smells exactly like those sun-soaked Darjeeling hills - almost fruity, with a muscatel depth I haven't found in other second flushes. I brewed it at work in a plain mug and still got that soft, lingering finish. It's become my afternoon ritual.

The second flush character really comes through—that classic Darjeeling bite softened by a rich, honeyed roundness. I brewed it at three minutes and the cup stayed smooth even as it cooled, which is rare for me. This one’s going into my weekly rotation for sure.
