TEESTA - Darjeeling FIRST Flush Black Tea Leaves from Freshcarton | 5.3oz / 150gm / 70cups | Light color, Flowery, Aromatic & Mild Astringency | Single Estate Darjeeling Loose Leaf Tea

Good taste

Nice floral taste/aroma, proper broken tea leaves with minimal stems, not powdery. A nice finish on the palate without bitterness. Spent leaves will brew into a decent second pot of tea. I use a tablespoon of leaves for 16 oz freshly boiled water. Overall, a very nice tea and a great value.

Good value for the money; would like to have the option of paying a little more for a higher quality of Darjeeling First Flush, one with more flavor, if possible

Very disappointing. Barely any flavor at all. Darjeeling tea bags from the grocery store taste much better than this. Made one pot and several cups of varying strengths at other times, and that showed me how bad this is, so I threw the rest away.

Highly disappointed with this offering. The tea brews too stale. Gonna try cold-brewing for iced. However, first flush teas are known for being light in color after brewed, but this one stays like beer mixed with more water than beer, even after 5-6 minutes steeping, which is way longer for a first flush steeping time. A fresher first flush would had become bitter with that long steeping time. This lower-than-average quality offering is not helping Amazon to establish a fair market for teas. Even while having all what it takes to do it. BTW, this is my 2nd purchase of tea in Amazon (first purchase was from a different provider and was also disappointing)

Great tasting Darjeeling tea. I was skeptical because of the price but was pleasantly surprised. I like to blend mine with a second flush Darjeeling tea from the same company. Makes the perfect cup of tea for me. Will buy again.

I am becoming addicted to this tea, I bought 2 100 gr bags fairly recently and I am on my second bag now. The flavor is wonderful, the color of the tea looks great. I use 2 tea spoons for an average sized tea cup and let it sit for roughly 4 minutes and the tea is perfect. Highly recommended!

the package was busted open with stray tea leaves strewn everywhere. i loved this tea but now am wary of ordering from here again.
