Dust off your antique teapot and delight in a cup of Organic Afternoon Darjeeling. Bright and brisk, just like the traditional Darjeeling, but with a unique twist. Ok we’ll spill the tea… we added a subtle hint of ripe mango! Skip the milk, or don’t—this bold blend tastes delicious both ways.
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT:
Unique twist on a traditional Darjeeling—we added ripe mango!
Skip the milk! This bold breakfast blend tastes delicious on its own.
Served best alongside delicious finger sandwiches or sweet treats.
HOW IT TASTES:
Bright & forest-y notes with a hint of ripe mango.

Another new tea!
Admittedly, this is probably my least favourite of the new teas from today’s drop but I do think it’s a really nice example of a specific style of tea blend. What style is that? More of a sort of “European” blending style where it’s a nice, full bodied black tea base (in this case Darjeeling) with a straight forward addition of one, singular light flavour. I think this blend would fit in perfectly in the assortment of a company like, say, Mariage Freres or Fortnum & Mason…
The black tea base is full bodied and brisk with floral elements characteristic of Darjeeling, and a bit of a woody/foresty kind of note as well. The mango is very, very subtle and just adds a nice fresh top note and supporting fruitiness. Not anything at all like DT’s typical mango tea. If you go into this blend expecting something like Mango Fruit Punch or, even, Maracuja Mango, you will almost certainly be disappointed.
Honestly, this tea just screams “make me in a big ornate teapot and drink me out of beautiful bone china teapots”. I want to eat scones with tangy, fun jams and finger sandwiches while sipping on this blend during high tea at a fancy tea house. Like, there’s very much a “vibe” to this tea that I don’t know a lot of DT blends fall into and I think it’s cool that we’re trying something a little more… subdued? We’ll see if anyone else thinks so too, haha.
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
