Quality black tea from the province of Darjeeling in India.
Company description not available.
This morning needs a good start to the day so my first cup is this Darjeeling. I am house and dog sitting for my parents as they are visiting my Grandad in Wales a few days before his heart operation.
The instructions on the back of the tea bag’s sleeve states to steep for 2 minutes with boiling water.
Colour: Apple Cider
Smell: Floral with a hint of dryness
Taste: Very light with hints of floralness and a rather bitter. I would say this is roughly average for instant Darjeeling but I don’t really think it tastes that much like a Darjeeling. It seems to have something else to it.
At the very most it’s a cup of relaxing tea but next time I will have milk and perhaps even a sugar to take away the very bitter taste which lingers afterwards. I would also not drink this if I wanted Darjeeling. Average for a black tea though.
This is fine but nothing special.
It’s smooth and has that haylike quality that I often find in later flush Darjeelings. It reminds me of autumn leaves and is a touch malty as well. There’s some dried-fruity sweetness in the aroma but I don’t get any in the taste.
Good for mindless sipping as I work, but not something I would order.

I wonder-did I steep too long?
First try darjeeling.
I wonder if I steeped this too long. The Internet says darjeelings are a light color. While this is light compared to a black tea, it is still fairly dark. It kinda tastes like boiled asparagus water with an…astringent aftertaste that fades to a nice vegital one that I don’t mind sitting in my mouth. So, it’s not nice to drink (and that may be due to oversteeping), but I enjoy having drank it.
Flavors: Astringent, Vegetal
