Tealyra - Darjeeling Margaret's Hope First Flush - Premium Loose Leaf Black Tea - The Best Indian Tea - Directly from Grower - Bold Caffeine - Naturally Processed - 110g (4-ounce)

This is the best Darjeeling tea I've had the opportunity to drink. It is so light, and delicate, you can sip it all day long. I highly recommend this tea for experienced connoisseurs and for those new to loose leaf tea.

Drank this tea previously (and Margaret's Hope in general many times) and enjoyed it so ordered it again. Was projected to arrive in 3 business days, but arrived in 2 days, and was delivered in morning (due to USPS) rather than afternoon / evening, which was especially nice. Drinking this delivery's batch, tastes good.

I am an avid Darjeeling fan and have ordered many teas from Margaret's Hope before..... I do not know what this was, - certainly not a first flush. It was completely without taste. I tried brewing another batch, re-checking my method. - Same result. Ultimately it went straight in the trash. Certainly not what I have come to expect from this grower.

This tea has a nice deep flavor. This is the only time I have bought this tea. But I drink a lot of tea / tea varieties and really appreciate the quality, flavor and enjoyment this tea gives.

A good quality Darjeeling for the price. Medium size leaves and very few stems. Taste is robust without being too acidic. Not quite as good as the highest quality first flush Darjeelings but much less expensive so I'm happy with the purchase.

I've shopped around every year for a different first flush to try. This review is for tea purchased in the summer of 2014, meaning the tea was picked in the previous spring.Good authentic darjeeling taste that is lighter and thinner then most black tea. Oxidation is not complete, I would estimate about 85-90%, which is correct for the variety. If you like to drink black tea straight, this is a good choice. With less tannin and malt flavor, sugar and milk are not needed to balance the tea. I take it with a small amount of milk.

I have been buying this tea for more than a year now. Quality was great to begin with. Nice light greenish golden brew with sweet floral aroma. Last two bags I received, however, were not the same. The leaves are smaller and lower grade. Brew looks more medium brown and don't get that nice scent any more. Very sad. I have to again find some other brand now.

Considering I have grown up drinking the Darjeeling tea ( note that the best is sold abroad so Indians only get the leftover! ) this tea has no taste whatsoever that resembles even low quality Darjeeling tea. Very disappointed that Tealyra is selling this as Darjeeling tea. The leaves and color are good but not the taste.
