There’s nothing else to say except that this is an absolutely perfect 2nd Flush Darjeeling. Steeped in spring or glacier water and you have liquid excellence.

a lovely tea, great flavor, gorgeous orange red color. I may keep some in a jar for these ugly gray days! If I can stop drinking it. Be careful how long you brew it, I am going to try 2.5 min next

The 5th of 7 samples from Thunderbolt Tea my humans tested. http://bit.ly/cwSD9w

This is the 2010 version. My humans think this tea company is “tops” and this tea is no exception:

This tea brews a rich dark amber and tastes like liquid ambrosia! As indicated by its name, the tea was musky, but also persisting were those notes of chocolate and floral, as well as sweet and nutty. The flavor here is divine and wonderfully nuanced. I don’t quite know where to start. It was musky, flowery, toast, nutty, a little smoky, with a sweet floral finish that lingered and lingered.

So attractive musk flavor and deep taste. It was also good for making iced tea (by steeping leaves in cold water). If you don’t like the rich or bitter taste, be careful the over-brewing.
