An edgy Darjeeling that was enjoyable, but not the best quality, even for a tea bag.
Brews a beautiful, golden-amber cup that is very clear. Medium- to light-bodied, but with a bold flavor. The aroma is fruity, but more lemony and less like the typical muscatel grape quality I associate with Darjeeling. There's also a skunky, herbaceous note which I can't decide if I like or not.
Moderate astringency, above average for a Darjeeling.
I recommend a short steeping (1-2 minutes); this one acquires an unpleasant bitterness if steeped too long. It can be deceptively harsh relatively to the light color of the cup.

A really nice, fragrant tea with a delicate taste, never bitter and a light dose of caffeine.
