High in the mountains, deep in the mists that surround the Himalayas is Darjeeling: "Queen of Teas". Our Darjeeling tea is a blend of First Flush and Autumnal teas from the best gardens. This mixture yields a light color in the cup - a fragrant "nose". A great value. Each tin contains 20 sachets. Our Darjeeling tea is Kosher and contains caffeine. Dry Leaves: Small green leaves can be found in this Darjeeling blend (hard withered green flakes) along with larger brown leaves. Liquor: This tea brews a light golden color. Aroma: A good mixture of the bright aromas of a First Flush Darjeeling: pineapple & grapefruit and the darker stone fruit notes of later season teas. Caffeine Level: Caffeinated Body: This is a medium bodied tea. Flavors: This tea delivers a good blend of bright citrus notes and darker notes of stone apricots and plums. Brewing Time: 4 to 5 minutes Brewing Temperature: 212° F

I never had Darjeeling before. This came as a free sample with a Harney order. I accidentally way oversteeped it--12 minutes at 195--and it was still very good, with a rich, satisfying earthy taste. No bitterness at all. I'm a green tea drinker, but surprisingly really enjoyed this one.

I'm not a huge fan of darjeeling, and this tea exemplifies why--I found it somewhat bitter and astringent.

A good Darjeeling, true to it’s name. I have this in loose leaf instead of bags as shown, but it’s not listed loose. Same tea though.
