다즐링 샨티 하티

That first sip is the giveaway — the brisk, sharp top notes hit right away, but it softens into that smooth, almost sweet undertone before the wispy finish fades. It's the kind of cup that makes you slow down and actually taste it. I'm already reaching for a second steep.

I brewed this up this morning and that brisk, sweet front note hit exactly as described—it’s got a real snap to it that wakes you up. The finish stays delicate, not astringent, which is rare for me at this price. Gone in three steeps too quickly, but each cup was lovely.

The finish really is as wispy as described—it lingers just a moment then fades cleanly, which makes each cup feel lighter than expected. That classic Darjeeling high note stays crisp without any harsh bite, even as it cools. I've already gone through half the pouch in a week.
