As I have mentioned, it was close to sipdown and today… it’s gone.
Another tea bought during my Germany trip and brought to the office as well.
And today I have finished it and it will be somehow missed.
Okay, to be honest, it is not exceptional tea. Just very good one considering tea bag quality. Robust, bold tea with floral notes, I probably never had a bitter cup of it. Weak dried fruit notes, especially noticeable when steeping short. A note: US website suggests 3-5 minutes, while German (including the box I had) suggests only 2-3 minutes. Interesting, huh?
Good daily drinking tea, however not so good as El Puente Darjeeling. Something I was lacking here. Maybe the flavour wasn’t so round, as I try to recall the differences.

Maybe Americans like their tea stronger. It’s funny how average teas can grow on you if you drink them regularly.
The variance in steep time is definitely due to regional taste preferences
