What's the taste of Darjeeling summer picking black tea? Is the price of authentic Darjeeling black tea expensive? how much is it per jin?

Darjeeling summer tea picking refers to Darjeeling Tea harvesting at a specific time, in the summer after spring tea picking. This kind of tea is also known as Darjeeling summer tea or Darjeeling summer picking. The harvest time of the second green is higher than that of the first, but much earlier than the peak of the monsoon season. Tea harvested during the monsoon season is called monsoon tea or rain tea, unlike summer-picked tea, which is usually considered of poor quality.

Compared with spring-picked black tea, Darjeeling black tea picked in summer is darker in color and richer in taste. However, many of these teas are lighter in color and are still much milder than most black teas.

Like spring tea, Darjeeling Tea is considered to be a very popular tea and may be very expensive. It is difficult to summarize the price or quality; although spring-picked tea is generally considered more expensive and desirable, the price of some summer-picked tea far exceeds that of spring-picked tea, and some tea lovers prefer summer-picked tea because they have a more obvious and distinctive flavor.

Take the summer picked Darjeeling black tea of Mighty Leaf Tea brand from Kalimpong in 2021 as an example.

Darjeeling's summer-picked black tea is fresher and cooler than the general aroma, making people feel surprisingly powerful, and the leaves stretch out a lot.

This kind of tea is more suitable for tasting slowly and carefully, rather than drinking it in a hurry.

The aroma of whole-leaf tea smells fresh and makes people have the urge to brew tea and drink tea. Slightly fruity and malt, with a hint of not very pleasant smell.

The aroma of the brewed tea is very rich, full and smooth, with enough astringency to give to the tea. The smell of wet leaves is very similar to that of dry leaves, and smells almost exactly the same as expected leaves. But the difference is that more flowers come out of the tea.

Like some of the smoother Darjeeling Tea, this tea can be strangely domineering in a way that is not implied by taste and aroma. As the taste is very strong, and even once suspected whether the brewing time is too long, resulting in the concentration of tea is very high and very rich.

Each cup of less than one teaspoon of tea (about 2 grams), just soak for 2 minutes, the taste of the tea is very rich. This means that the taste of the tea brewed for the second time is still very sufficient.
