Thanks Nerval and Marlena for the comments!

I am glad that you are liking the teas Nerval, you blog is great with good reviews on it.

Ah Marlena, finally it and I am happy about it. It needs some experimentation and finally you will get the notes and remember, the palate gets addicted to it once it starts liking it hehe!

I have been trying different ways of brewing the teas I ordered from you and I am happy to report that I am finally getting them right - for me, that is. Yum!!

I got a sample of this with my 2009 Autumn Flush order, and it’s truly a distinctive and delicious tea.
And I say this as hardly a fan of Darjeeling greens and oolongs, which all too often for me lack character and are just modified black teas. This is both true to the ‘yellow’ declaration, and really well-made. An exciting discovery!

ah thanks for the comment Geoff, its a new tea for me as well and is quite different. Yes, like green, like black and like oolong. It even surprised me and on inquiry with the tea maker, he said its very similar to green but is something different. And it is!

Yes Alan, we got your order and was shipped today by Fedex. Great to know about the tea class you had and that too about yellow tea huh - what a co-incidence. Yes, if it is below USD 59 the shipping is added, above 59 shipping is free. Anyways, hope you like this new Darjeeling tea and hope all your tea classes are “brightmoments”

I just placed my order I must try this Yellow Tea. Last night I was teaching a class on tea and I was explaining Yellow tea, Yellow tea is one of my favorites. Usually I would not order this small because of shipping costs but..had to have it.

This was indeed a very unique tea. I had no idea what to really make of it when I tried it. I seriously thought it was an oolong. Finding out that it’s not just blows my mind.

thanks for the comment Margaret. Well, there can be various green Darjeelings which may have slightly different characteristics. Anyways, greens have light liqour, slightly yellowish cup with light vegetal notes. Will tend to get bitter if you steep it long. Its best you use more of the tea leaves and less of steeping time. Consider experimenting different timings. I have Arya Green and Arya Emerald. Arya Green is the common Darjeeling green but a nice tea quite tippy. Arya Emerald is the other. Both share the above characteristics, but Emerald seems to have a citric nose as well. So slight differences are there. Which tea garden green you have?
