Darjeeling tea is a tea from the Darjeeling district in West Bengal, India. For this batch we used 10 1/2 cups water, 14 grams of DavidsTea Second Flush Darjeeling, 1 cup sugar and 1 1/4 cup starter buch.
We harvested this on 7/23. It tasted good, not too sweet or vinegary. We flavored it with almost a full tbsp of grated ginger and 1 tsp sugar. We’ll do a second fermentation of nine days.
Oops, nine days was too long! This was the most explosive batch we’ve ever made. This is also the most ginger we’ve ever used and it accelerated the second fermentation. Next time we will try it after 5 days.
