Review of Organic Darjeeling Black Pyramid Tea

Aroma spicy, unusually vegetal for a tea this dark, and unusually malty for a Darjeeling. Very interesting and complex! Dark liquor and tastes more like other black teas than most Darjeelings; I would not describe it as "golden" or "light". Remarkably bold and full-bodied and yet with little bitterness or astringency. There's even a hint of sweetness that emerges.
This is an interesting tea with some complexity in the aroma. I think I still prefer lighter Darjeelings, but I enjoy this one a lot.
