I go a little bit crazy over this Singbulli Gold tea - a tiny batch of full-leaf 2nd flush Darjeeling.

I am a Chinese/Taiwanese tea fan, and recently entered the world of south-asian teas. I tried going for darjeelings and I experienced a similar experience as you Don, although there were so exceptionals DJs in there. Howevere to me, nepalese teas as just BETTER - they are more interesting. Please stock Nepalese next :D

I loved the Castleton you sourced and I expect this tea to also be fantastic. I trust your judgements and I hope some day you find first flush and autumnal worthy of stocking!

It's so nice to watch your videos, and drink your teas

Darjeeling was always my favourite 'bad tea', so you sold me on this one. Bought some as soon as I finished this video.

Love the Castleton Muscatel that I got from Mei Leaf a while back, just had a session today. Was excited to see this in my feed, but it is 10 months old. Might we be seeing some more muscatel soon?

I´ll get a taster if I can. I´m not into Indian tea yet, but I´ve never had a high quality one.

I would like to say something,Don. I can only drink with my eyes right now,but I am inspired to quote,seeing that golden brown. The Stranglers. “Golden Brown,texture like Sun. Golden Brown,in my mind,she runs. All through the night. Never a fight. Never a frown,with Golden Brown…”

Don, have you tried white teas from Darjeeling? I prefer them to the black teas.

It would be great if you could a series on health benefits of tea. I am sure you have a lot of knowledge on this subject.

It’s a very tricky and hard subject to tackle, most people would just complain that you’re trying to shill or lie. It’s just healthy, unless you have a caffeine issue, simple as that.

@@SDArgo_FoC yeah, but there are a lot of research papers on the subject, so it would not be anecdotal.

I've tried a lot of Darjeeling over the years Don, but honestly I always find it so one-dimensional as a tea Always been very flat and dull as a tea - The kind of tea a "builder's brew" drinker would think is fancy Having said, the picking and processing on that tea looks fantastic

Actually I find Darjeeling teas the easiest and cheapest way into good tea if you are sourcing locally, plus they are often from a single estate. Even Darjeeling teas cheaper than 10 EUR/100 g can surprise you. Having said that, I have also tried batches from Castleton and Margaret Hope gardens that could only be described as builder's brew.
