This tea’s aroma reminds me of a forest in the fall, when it is raining: wood, dry leaves, earth. It is indeed very earthy, and it would be very good if the astringency wasn’t so strong. It leaves an aftertaste that isn’t good. Not the best really, but a nice change. I must try a better quality darjeeling. I always see people talking smack about darjeeling, but I think I would probably actually quite like it if I had a better one.

I wrote dry leaves, and I know that leaves are not dry when it rains. Y’all know what I mean! Lol
Im sorry it didnt work out for you. Darj could be very finicky. They like lower temps and less steep time.
Oh, nothing beats a fresh spring Darjeeling! Nothing wrong with DT, but not the best place to buy it from. Tealux is in Mtl and has amazing Darjeeling at very decent price:
Will try that!! I steeped for 4 mins with 95 degree water without really looking at the recommendations on the package (silly me _) Thank you for the tip! :D
Oh do you have any other recommendations from tealux? I’ve been wanting to order from them, but have no real reviews or word of mouth comments to make decisions.
I would also recommend Upton, but don’t know if they ship to Canada. Samples paradise
Veronica, I have tons of recommendations, but mostly for straight tea, I don’t like their flavoured tea that much. I will PM you later with some of my favourites :-)
(I meant Virginia, oops sorry! )
Looking forward to it! I meant straight teas :) And do not worry about calling me Veronica. My boyfriend of 5 years actually introduced me to his ENTIRE family as Veronica. So mortifying lol
