Free sample I got in a recent order.
This is probably the best Darjeeling I’ve ever tried. Its much less harsh, astringent, and bitter. But at the same time, there’s just nothing special about it either. Its just an ok black tea as far as my tastes are concerned. I’ll finish the sample I got, but that’s about it.
I’ve wanted to like Darjeelings so much, but they just don’t seem to be my thing. I’ve really got to stop trying to convince myself that I like, or will like, things I don’t. Its one thing to retry things once in a while to see how your tastes might have changed. Its a completely other thing to try to force yourself to like something you don’t.
