Review of Darjeeling (Loose)

| Aroma | Flavor | Value | Total |
| 5 of 10 | 2 of 5 | 2 of 5 | 43 of 100 |
| Fair | Mediocre | Overpriced |
My daughter brought this tea back from a trip to England, so my "value" rating may be biased by the excessive price she paid in a souvenir store.
In short: not the best nor the worst tea I've had...tolerable..slightly below average. The flavor isn't bad, but isn't strong enough, and it just doesn't have a lot of body. Even after almost 10 minutes of brewing, it tasted rather weak and watery. Maybe I got a weak batch? Maybe I'll amend this review if I get another tin to try someday, and it is better.
