The teabag reads "Mellow and Light Indian Black Teas" and I agree wholeheartedly. This is very mellow, especially for a Darjeeling in a teabag...this is not the usual stuff put in teabags; it has a fair amount of first-flush character.
The aroma is complex, but could be stronger. The main downside is that this teabag is only really good for a single infusion of a single cup. I recommend steeping longer than the recommended 3-5 minutes...especially if you like some bitterness.
