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.

Due to Steepster instability, I have moved to my own system for logging/rating/tracking and I have chosen to move to a 10pt rating system. (As of 7/2023)

All new teas will be rated using this new system. Existing teas will not be modified unless I try them again.

Rating Details:
100 – Amazing
90 – Excellent
80 – Enjoyable
70 – If I’m in the right mood
60 – Nothing Special
50 – Interesting elements, but doesn’t work as a whole
40 – Disappointing
30 – Not for me
20 – Harsh/Bad
10 – Absolutely horrible

All reviews are purely subjective based upon my personal preferences alone.
