Positively Tea, Organic Darjeeling Black Tea, Loose Leaf, 16 Ounce

This tea has good freshness (not sure that's the right word for tea leaves, but...) and it works well with my small-mesh diffuser mug inserts. It took a little experimenting to get the right amount for each cup, but now I'm enjoying this tea. There is some depth the the flavor after a long steep. I used to use two tea bags per 16-ounce cup, and I would steep it a long time to get some bitterness. It's difficult to get any bitterness with this loose tea, which most users will appreciate. I prefer a little bitterness, and I can get a little bitter aftertaste if I steep this a long, long time. I may experiment with other flavors that are more suited to the taste I'm aiming for (probably Asam). But I love not having to taste the carboard flavor of a tea bag; I'll never go back now that I've experienced the difference. And I'm saving a ton of money vs. bags.

Great tasting tea for the money. I buy about three pounds a moth and it is constantly god

I just switched to loose tea and was looking for a good brand with interesting flavors. Well my prayers are answered with this brand tea. Positively thee best I've ever had. The sent and flavor are noticeable right away. Perfect brew every time. I love it. So far I've tried the darjeerling. I also bought a pound of asam which I can't wait to get brewing.

I've been drinking Darjeeling Tea for over 40 years and this is the first time that I've received an order with minimal Darjeeling flavor and a musty, almost moldy taste. Hopefully, this was just a bad batch. I would not like to drink it, and most certainly would not serve it to guests.

Good taste

I've been drinking this almost daily since 2016. It's a good daily drinking tea for this price. It's not as delicious as the teas I occasionally buy that are $60 a pounds, but it is a lot better than other teas I've found at this price

We have been drinking Darjeeling tea for years. Typically we'd bring back a years supply from our trips to India. Due to Covid this was not possible. We searched for various common teas to find a substitute - Bigelow's came close, especially their English Breakfast and Earl Grey. Then a friend told us about this tea. We love it - it is as close to the familiar teas we'd bring back from India as one could get. Good flavor, good color. We use a 'in cup' tea infuser. One tea spoon, brewed for 2 minutes is great with a touch of milk. If you want tea without milk then brew it a bit less. The water we use is heated to boiling in an electric tea kettle.

While the tea itself looks marvelous and has that whole leaf appearance of a high quality tea, the flavor is disappointing--weak and bland. I will be going back to Davidson's for my Darjeeling.
