I came upon this Chinese tea by chance as Palais des Thés added a free sample of Pu Er Imperial to my last order. However, I got immediately addicted to its unique taste of wet soil and leather, with a distinctive coppery colour that I have not seen in other teas. I am apparently not the only one appreciating this tea since it led to a speculative bubble that burst a few years ago.
Darjeeling Sungma “Muscatel”

My student Antoine brought me a bag of Darjeeling Sungma “Muscatel” from Le Palais des Thés and it is beyond any Darjeeling I have drink so far! It is woody, almost smoky, with a very rich round flavour. Superlative!
