Grown with care only in the foothills of the Himalayas in the Darjeeling region of India, this light, golden colored, loose-leaf, black tea is prized for it's gently sweet, muscatel flavor. Savor it simply 'as is,' no additions needed.

    Not the best Darjeeling ot there, but it's still very based. Classic Darjeeling with an interesting floral aroma and a delicately sweet taste. Its main downside is that it can become pretty bitter. If you're sensitive to such taste, beware of overbrewing.

    Brew 1: 5½ m, 210°F (came out bitter)

    Brew 2: 3½ m, 207°F

    Dose: 2 bags (4 g or 0,14 oz) per 16 fl oz (45 cl) of water

    Not the greatest Darjeeling I've had, but pretty good. Be careful not to steep too long, as this one becomes bitter easily.

    I keep seeing a it described as sweet but I don't see that playing out as an actual taste. It is a good flavor though. Rich and light.

    Pretty good tea! Always a fan of Darjeeling anyway but this has some nice underlying notes

    Darjeeling is not normally my favorites of teas, but this is a good quality darjeeling nonetheless, especially for the price.
