I received 1/4 lb of this tea (Jungpana FTGFOP1 Second Flush #145) on
Sept. 6th. When I prepared a cup and took a first sip I immediately
got up from my comfortable armchair and ordered 1 lb of it.
What made me to interrupt my cup was fine, true muscatel flavor of
this remarkably fine tea, its noble fruitiness and multiple light
notes of autumnal forest ground. It's a classic style Darjeeling
Second Flush tea at its best. This kind of tea was very hard to find
in the past five years.
I certainly wasn't alone to get so excited about this tea because the
demand of this tea literally exploded. The staff of SpecialTeas had
confirmed my order but the next day I received an e-mail with
appologies ( the item is out of stock for unforeseen demand) and
confirmation that I might receive the tea in 30 day or so. I wasn't
yet recovered from my disappoitment when I received the confirmation
that the order was shipped and today it's on my table. I've tasted it
to be sure and it is OK!.
I owe compliments to the staff of SpecialTeas and particularly to
their tea-taster.

I just finished last year's stash, and it was great. Looks like I'm going
to have to move quick if I want to get any of this year's!
