Darjeeling from Tazo Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 15th, 2014
I had the opportunity to sample this at a small cafe that had only two tea bags left in their stock. It obviously was not fresh, as this tea was discontinued quite some time ago, and the copyright on the bag said 2007.
The tea was surprisingly drinkable and still retained quite a lot of flavor and aroma. Flavor wa...

This tea is pretty good. It has a musty aroma. Brews quickly, which I like. I added cream and sugar.

Darjeeling (teabag) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 6th, 2014
I really enjoyed this bagged version of Darjeeling - and I am a Darjeeling lover. This one is not nearly as bitter as some, and really fresh smelling and tasting for a bagged tea. Took a solid 3-4 minutes to steep - so give it some time and enjoy. I did add sweetener to it - but you certainly don't need to. Very tr...

Darjeeling (Loose) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 24th, 2013
This tea has a sweet aroma. I thought it was kind of mild and watery at first (after brewing it for 8 minutes) but as I get further down in the cup, it seems to taste fuller. It has a kind of sharp, sweet flavor. It's surprisingly astringent for a Darjeeling tea. It leaves my mouth feeling kind of fuzzy. I added cream ...

Darjeeling from Twinings
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India47 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 3rd, 2013
Obtained through Twinings' free samples program, so I know the tea bag was fresh. Thank you to Twinings for the free sample!
The dry tea bag doesn't smell like much of anything. Upon brewing, it has a slightly stronger aroma, but overall the aroma is weak. I steeped for 3 minutes with boiling water.
Dark in co...

2nd Flush Darjeeling from Waterfall Tea Company
Style: Darjeeling Second Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 22nd, 2013
A classic and high-quality example of second flush. This was my first introduction to Waterfall teas, and it makes me eager to try more of this company's teas and see where they go!
This is the first pyramid sachet that I thought surpassed Two Leaves and a Bud's Darjeeling in quality. It is a notch more expensive ...

Darjeeling Broken Orange Pekoe from Fortnum & Mason
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 15th, 2013
This one disappointed me. It tasted a lot less recognizable as a Darjeeling than most Darjeeling tea bags do. There was a faint hint of the muscatel grape aroma, but the dominant aroma was like a generic black tea, not much different from Lipton and the like.
The color of the brewed cup is dark, and the tea has a ...

Darjeeling (Loose) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 25th, 2013
Like most of Ahmad's Teas, impressive quality. Much darker in color than Ahmad's Darjeeling tea bags though; a surprisingly different tea. Both are good, but this is much more complex.
Dry leaf has a very pleasant aroma, with a strong suggestion of wintergreen, rice, and muscat grape. This is one of the most arom...

Darjeeling from Twinings
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 19th, 2013
I was expecting the taste of this Darjeeling tea to be quite bitter, however, it was refreshing. This tea was great value and even better than expected, the taste is refreshing and the aroma is not too strong and bitter like most black teas, nor too sweet. I would recommend this tea if you're looking for a tea which is...

Puttabong Estate Second Flush SFTGFOP1 K. Musc (DJ-235) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Darjeeling Second Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 8th, 2013
OK. This is tough. I wanted to write a review and provide ratings that would be fair and encouraging to other readers, but I'm conflicted due to my own taste bud preferences. My very first experience with a 2nd Flush Darjeeling was a Taylors of Harrogate, which I liked, due to it's malty, full-bodied, and high 'glow' a...

Darjeeling Badamtam from Cafe Moto
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 3rd, 2013
This is an inexpensive Darjeeling, not a high grade of tea, but offering decent quality relative to its price. It has a relatively dark, full-bodied character among Darjeeling teas, even though it looks lighter in color.
Brews a light-colored cup with a fruity aroma, suggestions of caramel and malt, and producing a...

Sungma (Organic, Darjeeling First Flush 2013) from Happy Earth Tea

Sep. 1st, 2013
This tea has an interesting aroma. It brews really light, but it's surprisingly flavorful. A little bitter for me, but pretty good. I added cream and sugar.

Puttabong (Organic, Darjeeling First Flush 2013) from Happy Earth Tea
Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 19th, 2013
I thought this tea was really good, it was definitely higher quality than most Darjeelings I've had. The description fits it to a 'T' minus the malty taste -- mellow and sweet. I liked it overall and thought it was much better than other teas I've had... while I didn't have an initial "wow" moment because of personal ...

Puttabong (Organic, Darjeeling First Flush 2013) from Happy Earth Tea
Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 24th, 2013
This was my favorite among the four first flush teas I sampled from Happy Earth Tea, and among my all-time favorite Darjeeling teas.
Dry leaf has a very strong and complex aroma, with fruity, nutty, and herbaceous tones.
Upon brewing, the cup becomes beautifully fragrant. The fruitiness is deeper, a little less ...

Risheehat (Organic Darjeeling, First Flush 2013) from Happy Earth Tea
Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 22nd, 2013
Yet another very high-quality first flush Darjeeling from Happy Earth Tea. All of their teas that I have sampled have been similar, and all have been excellent.
Dry leaf smells strongly nutty and of caramel, only slightly fruity and floral.
Upon drinking, I found this to be the most brisk and bitter of the four ...

Darjeeling (teabag) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 21st, 2013
This is undoubtedly the best Darjeeling I've tried in tea bags yet, and it's surprisingly affordable. It's a broken-leaf tea, but I think it surpasses even "full-leaf" teas in pyramid sachets, like those from Two Leaves Tea or Novus Tea.
Very green character the greenest I've ever had from a tea bag. Is this pure ...

Sungma (Organic, Darjeeling First Flush 2013) from Happy Earth Tea
Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 8th, 2013
Another top-notch Darjeeling first flush from Happy Earth Tea. This is the second tea I've tried from Sungma estate; the other was a second flush that I liked very much.
Dry leaf is very green and has an aroma of fruit and flowers, with strong nutty tones.
The brewed cup smells initially of muscat grape and cara...

Arya Black (Organic Darjeeling, First Flush 2013) from Happy Earth Tea
Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 5th, 2013
A fantastic tea, but tough to brew well.
Dry leaf looks very green, among the greenest first flush I've seen, and has a typical aroma of Darjeeling first flush: lightly fruity and floral. The label "Black" I find rather humorous: there's nothing remotely black about this tea.
I found this tea to be tricky to bre...

Afternoon Darjeeling from Octavia Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 19th, 2013
Served at Velvet Sky Bakery in Jenkintown. This tea has become a regular of mine--I have found I enjoy it much more when I'm very careful about brewing. I recommend a brief initial steeping, about 1 minute, followed by a longer steeping, 3 minutes or more, for a second cup.
The cup is pleasantly aromatic, with a c...

Makaibari Estate Oolong Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Darjeeling Oolong – Region: Darjeeling, India57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 14th, 2013
This tea has a very sweet aroma. It tastes kind of bitter and watery, although it has an interesting crisp, fresh flavor. It tastes like black tea, which I like. It has a lingering bitter aftertaste that I don't like so much. I have mixed feelings about it. I added cream and sugar.

Darjeeling (teabag) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 12th, 2013
The aroma is sweet, it is hard to describe it as anything other than that, it is sweet and very pleasant.
I am beginning to think I am not a fan of Darjeeling unless it is in a blend, because this is the second Darjeeling I have had and not been fond of.
The taste was tart, bitter and a little muddied. I am wil...
