Darjeeling Highlands

Black Tea by Harney & Sons

High in the mountains, deep in the mists that surround the Himalayas is Darjeeling ~ “Queen of Teas”. Our Darjeeling tea is a blend of First Flush and Autumnal teas from the best gardens. This mixture yields a light color in the cup – a fragrant “nose”. A great value.

Has a smell like the attic at first…a little bitterness but overall not bad. The aroma in the cup is pleasing. It is muscatel which I’m not exactly sure the definition….but to me that means an aroma of fall leaves….which I don’t think is a bad thing because fall is one of my favorite seasons.

This tea was nice and light. Even though the taste was a bit flattish, it is advertised as mellow and light. Perfect for a rainy morning on campus, like today. Would drink again.

This tea has a strong pungent smell, but it has a very light taste. I can taste the blackness of the tea and the orange pekoe. Has a slight after taste, but very good. Cheers!

For a bag tea, this isn’t bad. It isn’t as harsh as one might expect from a bagged tea. I’m not sure I’d ever buy this for use at my house but I’d definitely order it from restaurants that carry it.
