Sample that I received from a recent order from Teabox. The flavor is very typical for a Darjeeling: strong muscatel flavor with a slight hint of cherries. Astringent.
It’s a very pleasant tea but nothing spectacular. I’d certainly drink it again, but I don’t know if I’d order a large quantity to keep on hand.
Date of picking: November 26, 2020
Flavors: Astringent, Cherry, Muscatel

My tea habits generally depend on my mood and the season but, in general, my preferred teas are black teas, especially those grown in Sri Lanka and India. I will occasionally drink other types, though.
Unless noted in my review, I brew my tea western style and do not use additives (milk/cream, sugar, etc.).
I am definitely not an expert when it comes to tea, so I apologize if my reviews differ from the experiences you’ve had with any of the teas I have logged.
Please feel free to contact me and let me know if you have a favorite that I have to try! :)
