Good value Darjeeling leaf tea
Flavour is the most important aspect of tea and this has a clean taste with a slightly smoky aspect, it is just off the best tasting darjeelings I have had which are fresher and less smoky. I took pictures of the dry leaves and leaves after brewing. You can clearly see they are mostly leaves and not powder or ground up stems. They were delivered in an airtight and resealable plastic bag, deliver 2 days after ordering. This bag was a much lower price per oz of tea than other Darjeeling and is great value.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very strong Darjeeling
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2020
Verified Purchase
The label does not specify whether this is a first flush or second flush tea, nor does it give much information on the quality of this tea, other than that it is golden tipped. From its looks and taste, I suspect it's a second flush, though. The dry leaves have a strong, slightly grassy tea smell and are in shades of brown, which indicates that the tea was longer oxidized than first flush Darjeeling.
The brewed tea has a dark amber color and it has a full bodied, strong taste with a good amount of adstringency, which leaves a particular, not unpleasant aftertaste. On the Darjeeling spectrum, it is definitely one of the strongest Darjeelings I ever had.
Obviously, how you rate a Darjeeling is entirely an issue of personal preference. I like the delicate, crisp first flush Darjeelings much more than the robust second flush ones. And this one is very robust. So, not my favorite, but still a very good tea, particularly if you need a good, strong tea in the morning.

Honestly? It doesn't look like Darjeeling. It doesn't smell like Darjeeling (it practically doesn't smell at all). It doesn't taste like Darjeeling. It's more like a regular Nilgiri or Assam at best, and not FTGFOP. Darjeeling is a Champaign of teas. This is more like a cheap whiskey. I will look for real good Darjeeling (such as Risheehat, Singbulli, Phuguri, Rohini, or Sourenee) elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Darjeeling Tea! Yum!
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2016
Verified Purchase
I am quite picky with my tea as I like the strong tea flavor that comes from many brands of black tea. Although my favorite type of black tea is darjeeling, the price always seemed too high and so I would just end up getting assam instead. I think the flavor of assam is not as interesting as darjeeling, but is a good 2nd place tea in my opinion. When I saw this tea, at about the same price as my usual assam tea, I jumped at the price and added it to my cart. Upon receiving tea, the first thing I do is smell it as each tea seems to have a different smell and I think is a good judge of how good a tea will be... they say much of our perception of "taste" comes from the smell while eating/drinking. This tea smells exactly as I rememberd good darjeeling tea smells when I used to get it on the rare ocassions. I then use my coffee press to scoop out 2 spoonfulls of tea to make a batch, which ends up being around 2 large cups (I like it strong). After 3 minutes of steeping I poured myself a cup as I believe it's said black teas become more bitter if you leave it steep for too long. The flavor of this tea is just as I would except from darjeeling. I also use black tea for kombucha brewing and previously used Assam. Now I will try this tea to see if it affects the flavor (positively I expect). I plan on getting this tea again and again at this price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Low-grade, but organic and very inexpensive!
Reviewed in Canada on April 28, 2021
Verified Purchase
This is my first order from Davidson's and, having read some negative reviews (more for fruit tea than for plain black tea though), I sorted through this large bag of tea to see what kind of foreign materials might be present. Aside from a few blades of grass, and quite a bit of stem (probably tea plant but too tasteless to be certain), it appeared to be consistent throughout.

The colour is dark. The gauge (or whatever; the average size of a leaf) is small. There is little aroma, either before or after steeping. It requires twice (even three times!) the amount that a premium summer Darjeeling would require, in order to get the same strength of brew, and of course the flavour is inferior.

Having said that, it is USDA certified organic, whereas the premium teas frequently are not. In the balance, if you are not too fussy about floral notes etc, this is not a bad value at all for organic loose-leaf tea. It is not a Darjeeling to my nose, although it was supposedly harvested there! Sorry Davidson's!

It shipped very quick by the way.

edit: A very strong brew has pleasant notes of raspberry, and tastes strangely good with a bit of dark chocolate on the tongue.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Quality Darjeeling
Reviewed in Canada on March 11, 2018
Verified Purchase
Now that I've had a chance to try this tea a few times, I'm very pleased with it. It's quite tannic and the leaves are large, so it's probably a late harvest. I purchased this Darjeeling because my Adamo Darjeeling wasn't available. The Davidson Darjeeling was more expensive but a reasonable replacement. I find that a pound of this lasts me two years and is just as good by the end, kept in a tin. It's my regular day-time tea and vastly superior to any black tea found in the supermarket.
________________________________
When the new pound of Darjeeling arrived from Davidsons I still had a bit of the previous batch left, which I poured into a smaller tin. It still smelled pretty good.

The first thing I did upon opening the new batch was to smell it. I was underwhelmed. Pouring it into the tin, I didn't notice many twigs but not much tippy gold leaf either. Brewing it, it tastes pretty much like what you'd expect from the supermarket. We can't blame everything on the weather.

This is not a high grade tea. It can't be for the low price that I paid. Now, having said that, it is actually quite good. There is no Musk flavor; which is what we look for in a high quality Darjeeling tea. But, again, this is not a high grade tea. I got what I paid for.
