Hi first time questioner here.

I am trying to re-create an experience I had with first flush Darjeeling tea maybe 25 years ago.

Basically, upon the first sip, this tea had a subtle floral or vegetal taste, but then that was followed up WHILE I was drinking it with a very powerful floral and maybe sweet aroma and taste.

I've bought some 2026 Darjeelings recently, but haven't recreated that yet. Is what I experienced 25 years ago a thing? Does it have a name? Am I mis-remembering?

More importantly, I would like some pointers on finding tea like this again.

FWIW, this tea was sold/imported by "SpecialTeas". They were bought out years ago by a larger company and are no longer around.
