This is my "every day" tea |

This tea is not too strong or sweet. It has a great aroma and works great as an "afternoon" tea. |

I like but don't love this tea. Brew is medium bodied, with a nice smooth texture in the mouth. Not overwhelming in flavor, mostly notes of wood/oak. It reminds me a lot of the Darjeelings-in-a-teabag I've had in the past. I enjoy the tea but it isn't too notable. I've compared it directly with a number of other Himalayan offerings from S&V, and it generally doesn't stack up. Compared to single origin Darjeelings (I've tasted it with Dooteriah 2nd flush and Margaret's Hope 2nd flush), this blend is lacking in flavor, particularly the floral/fruity notes of the single origins. To me, those teas are worth the extra few cents per cup. I've also compared it to the similarly-priced Nepal Ilam tea, and found that much, much better; the Ilam had more flavor, especially with floral aromas. |

Clean, affordable Darjeeling Blend |

A pleasant tea that provides a very affordable option for a Darjeeling tea. Not particularly distinct, but that is the necessary consequence of it being blended. Some vegetal, citral, 'Darjeelin'g notes. Worth a try and enjoyable. |

I've probably tried twenty different Darjeeling loose teas over the years and this blend is excellent. It has a very smooth,fresh taste that is very pleasing to the palate. I'll definitely buy it again ! |

A great choice for the price. This house blend is refreshing and brisk.The taste of grapes is pronounced and enjoyable. |
