Organic teas make up probably 10-20% of my collection. I love organic items but to be honest, for teas, I don’t go out of my way to buy organic. The aroma is very characteristic Darjeeling as the hue of the tea. After my first sip, I must report the taste is wonderful. It’s not a standout tea but it’s able to stand up on it’s own. At 16 cents per cup (if buying the 500g pack), it’s definitely an affordable treat for yourself first thing in the morning. I know plenty of people love putting milk, sugar, honey or other oddities in their black teas. I don’t personally, but even if I did, I would not advise messing with this cup since it’s on the lighter side already.
Steinthal Estate 2nd Flush Darjeeling SFTGFOP1 (DJ-57)
Black Tea by Upton Tea Imports
We are always on the lookout for an affordable, organic Darjeeling which is smooth and flavorful. This selection fits the bill and then some, with a light muscatel note, and a smooth, slightly nutty finish.
