My aunt prefers green tea to black, so we usually get Darjeeling only for guests. But we were recently treated to some of the region's oolongs and she really enjoyed them.
The ones we tried were more fruity than the Taiwan oolongs we're used to, but very pleasant to drink.
Someone I knew had an uncle who was a tea grower in Darjeeling. On a visit there, he brought back first flush. I'm afraid I found it tasted like grass. I just didn't like it. After that, I never dared try Darjeeling again.
Excellent introduction to Darjeeling, thanks 💐.

As I mentioned, the first flush is more like a green tea than black. Don’t give up on it. You may like the second flush better. I certainly do.
