Afternoon Darjeeling

I made a pot of this earlier! I like my darjeeling weak and milky, so the fact that Betty’s loose teas are weak unless you use double the amount of tea per person is a mixed blessing. Even when it got strong it wasn’t /too/ strong— it’s probably difficult to scald this one. Good Darjeeling, not as strong as regular types!

I could have sworn I had written this up earlier, but it appears not.

I have the bagged version of this, for work. I think I’m going to get some loose tea for home because, yum.

Today I have been trying out flavored black teas, and after those, this one is plain and simple and with a splash of half-and-half it’s just right. Light and pleasant, exactly like I always imagined Darjeeling should taste. I don’t think it’s bold enough for a breakfast tea, at least not for me. But now, late afternoon, it’s calming and comforting and companionable, and is not making me jangly.

desperate for strong tea in the morning, i’m now drinking afternoon darjeeling. call it an act of rebellion. i find it almost as strong as my beloved Twinings Irish Breakfast. i found it as bag tea in my local grocery store. first thing in the morning, i am not competent enough to handle tea leaves. this tea is good with a long steeping, at least five minutes, a sugar cube & a wee dollup of milk.

Not just for Afternoons! A refreshing darjeeling.

simple, clean and nice flavor, not that strong
it goes well with milk, after i finish it i put couple of drops of lemon extract,
great,, as the description, it’s definitely for sweet cakes.

This is a perfect tea for morning, when I haven’t yet woken up, or relaxing any time. I love the delicate flavor, and it’s perfect with just a tiny bit of sugar, honey, stevia, or my favorite, French Vanilla Coffeemate creamer. One of my favorite teas. :)

I wasn’t very impressed with this tea. Much too mild for my taste, but it’s a good choice for lazy afternoons.

I’m surprised that no one has reviewed this one yet! This darjeeling is pretty great, honestly. It has a lighter flavor than other darjeelings I’ve tried, and is quite a soothing cup after stressful days at work. This one is definitely worth a try!
