I own David’s Darjeeling and enjoy it, so I grabbed two samples of this for comparison.
It’s dark and musky, soft and smooth, slightly sweet and very earthy. It smells like a walk in the woods after the rain has stopped.
I’m drinking it in my forest mug too! I can’t tell if it’s better than the other Darjeeling but I do like it.

I have this strange recollection that someone at a DT store said that one “new” darjeeling was just David’s Darjeeling with a new name…. No idea if it would be this one or not.
I was wondering if they were the same, but I haven’t had my other long enough to really remember! It doesn’t look as though you can buy David’s Darjeeling anymore though: a search just brings up this or Himalayan Blend for Darjeeling.

I think this was just a rename to distinguish it from the one season where they carried a limited edition first flush version.
