Today's tea: 1 pint of Chinese black tea blend, 1 additional cup rebrewed, and 1 cup Darjeeling black tea. The rebrewed Chinese blend tastes a lot different. I'm guessing because it's a blend, some of the tea rebrews more than others. It tastes really odd.

I haven't had a Darjeeling in a while. The remains of the sampler kit is full of exotic Darjeelings that are expensive so much that I wouldn't really buy, so it feels like a waste to brew it. I didn't find them that amazing. I've already used up all the stuff I really liked. There's 1st and 2nd flush Darjeelings, referring to different tea harvest seasons specific for Darjeelings which greatly affect their flavor. 1st flush is very floral, 2nd flush is richer with a unique aroma/flavor called muscatel, named after a certain wine grape. I like the 2nd flush Darjeelings more.
