We are trying yet another Darjeeling. This one is imported from New Delhi and is packaged by Vahdam Teas. We brought 6 cups of water to boil in a pot, removed it from heat, added 28 grams of tea and steeped for 4 minutes covered, stirring midway through. We then added 1 cup of sugar to a gallon jar and strained the tea into it, dissolving the sugar. We added 5 cups of water and let cool to room temperature. Next we added 1 1/2 cups of starter tea and transferred the SCOBY. We’ll let it ferment for seven days before bottling.
We harvested this on 11/19. It tasted ok but we’re not diggin’ this new Darjeeling. We flavored it with 1/4 cup of WF concord grape juice and 1/2 tbsp of sugar.
