The second tea I've tried from my big care package from
SpecialTeas.Com was #881, Decaffeinated Darjeeling (no
other designators; I guess they're giving their customers
that to their credit).

I love the smell of this stuff in the bag. Very flowery
and fruity. It gets much more subtle in the cup.
Best decaf I've ever had by a ton, one of the better teas,
and a better Darjeeling than the Twinings loose BP in
the plum colored tin.

And maybe the best part of it: there was a familiar scent
to the tea in the cup, and now that it's cooling a bit
it just struck me. It has this sweet/deep note that is my
favorite part about the Te' Teas Yin Zhen Silver Needles
white tea I was posting about last week.

That, in a Darjeeling, and it's decaf? This my new favorite
tea. But I have like 6 or 7 more bags to try, so we'll see
how the rest of the week goes.

P.S. Babelcarp says "yin zhen" is literally "silver needles".
But "te' tees" is redundant, too, so maybe it's a style thing.
