With most tea I don't bother timing how long it brews too precisely, but with a first flush darjeeling I am careful to brew it for thre minutes (or a few seconds either side). I have left it for five minutes before and it is disgusting, whereas with some teas you can get away with that kind of thing. I will try brewing at a lower temperature though. I always use boiling water as I would for other black teas, but it is light and I had often wondered whether a lower temperature would suit it better. I still think these darjeelings are the king of all teas Thank you for this advice.
