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 7/16 and flavored it with 1/4 cup of Orange Mango juice and 1 tbsp of sugar. It tasted slightly sweet and was fizzy, just what we aim for after first fermentation. We will let it go five days on the shelf before we move it to the fridge.

We harvested this on 6/18. There wasn’t a lot of SCOBY and it didn’t seem to fizz much or taste strong. It didn’t help that I accidently added 1/2 cup of water. We flavored it with 1/4 cup of Orange Mango juice and 1 tbsp of sugar.
