다즐링 블루 얼그레이

I’ve been sipping this every morning since it arrived, and the delicate bitterness of the first flush leaves is exactly what I wanted in an Earl Grey—the citrus comes through but doesn’t overpower the floral side. Brewed it at 85°C for three minutes and it turned out perfectly smooth.

The floral notes from the first flush Darjeeling come through beautifully, and it’s got that gentle bitterness that keeps it refreshing rather than heavy. I’ve been brewing it every afternoon since it arrived, and the blue flowers add a pretty touch to the cup that makes it feel a bit special.
