Darjeeling tea is a tea from the Darjeeling district in West Bengal, India. For this batch we used 10 cups water, 14 grams of DavidsTea Second Flush Darjeeling, 1 cup sugar and 1 1/2 cup starter buch.
We harvested this on 2/16 after ten days! It actually didn’t taste too vinegary. What we are learning is that the thickness of the SCOBYs seems to make a big difference and with less SCOBY the fermentation period can be increased. We flavored it with 1/4 cup of concord grape juice and 2 tsp of sugar in bottles #91-95 and will do a five day second fermentation.
