“It turns out I'm not a fan of the Darjeeling tea character, which is what I bought this offering to confirm. It's absolutely a great example of the variety, however, for its many, many fans!
Make sure you follow the brewing instructions on the website page, as this tea is as delicate as its reputation suggests and fresh boiling water will burn the leaves.
For the uninitiated, Darjeeling's key quality is its smooth taste punctuated by a very distinct, savoury character, reminiscent of fine wine as much as a tea can resemble wine. If you like your wines, you will probably greatly enjoy Darjeeling tea too.”
