The best tasting Darjeeling from a great company!
The best tasting Darjeeling from a great company!
I kinda blind bought a tin of this assuming I would like it. It tastes really flat, and I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to taste. A lot of people seem to like it, unfortunately not me.
One of the most delicious teas in my long relationship with tea. With a most satisfying and well-rounded flavor, this tea is premium quality. Definitely a staple in my tea pantry.
This tea is one I always have on hand. One of my favorites.
My favorite everyday morning tea -- strong but not bitter.
Has been a favorite tea ever since I tried it.
Love my Darjeeling from the Republic of Tea!
I love this tea. I have tried many, many Darjeeling teas, but I always come back to Republic Darjeeling. It has excellent flavor with depth and complexity with out being bitter.
I had tried a sample that I received and liked the bold taste and purchased some for enjoying at a new tea experience,
My favorite tea for years now! The bulk bag is a great buy.
Fantastic--makes lovely, iced tea as well!
I regularly buy this tea and it's the best tea we've ever had. I buy it in bulk because we like it so much. Beats every other I've ever had. We like the flavored teas also, but the Darjeeling is by far our favorite.
Repeat customer here. Love this tea!
My absolute favorite. Nothing else tastes as smooth. I'm caffeine sensitive and this doesn't bother me - but I try to avoid it after 3 pm. I love that I can buy it in one pound bags - I feel like I'm saving the earth while sipping.
A lot of iced tea gets consumed in our house and appreciate the depth and quality of the flavor.
The champagne of teas, indeed! I love the darjeeling I've tried of other brands, so I was excited to try RoT's. It didn't disappoint. I let the full leaf teas steep a little bit longer than bagged. The flavor of darjeeling is lighter on the tongue and more nuanced than other blacks. Will happily buy again!
This was my first time having pure Darjeeling tea, and I can see why it's called the champagne of tea. It was so much lighter and sweeter than the usual black tea I drink that it was almost unrecognizable and tasted closer to green tea, to me, than black. It wasn't bad, but I prefer stronger black tea like English or Irish blends, or pure Assam.
Best tea ever!
I am new to your Darjeeling tea. This is a lovely well balanced tea and is destined to become another Republic of Tea favorites.
This was the first time I have tried the Darjeeling Black Tea. The taste is very smooth, I highly recommend it.
Darjeeling is a lovely and delicately balanced tea. It is destined to be a new favorite.
This is a truly lovely, smooth Darjeeling tea.
Darjeeling is my favorite tea and this does not disappoint.
This is my favorite and only breakfast tea I drink. Tea bags don't compare to full leaf tea steeped just right. I have used Darjeeling that comes in the little tea bags and always come back to this tea. Absolutely cannot be without it.
My absolute favorite tea! It has a deeply rich, black tea flavor. I found that it was important to follow the brewing instructions to get the best flavor, and I do brew it a bit stronger than recommended because I prefer a bolder flavor.
BEST tea out there IMO! Company is top notch as well! Usually get my order AHEAD of scheduled date/time. If you ever have any issues, they are very responsive!
I love darjeeling tea, and this one is really excellent.I always keep it in stock.
This tea is good to enjoy all day. I often brew it for an afternoon treat.
I have loved all my Republic of Tea purchases for years. Every morning starts with a cup of green tea snd every afternoon continues with a cup or two of my favorite black teas, Darjeeling.
A very good Darjeeling. A perfect cup in just two minutes. My favorite hot tea in the winter.
The most important thing that is great about my purchase is that I receive a quality tea that somehow tastes light and full-bodied at the same time. I prefer the second flush darjeeling because the flavor is stronger, but not bitter. I think it is called "the champagne of teas" because of the delightful color and the feeling of indulgence when enjoying.
Somehow combing the boldness of a black with the floral notes of a green, this Darjeeling is perfectly unique. I buy it religiously because it's just sooooooo good!
This tea has a wonderful flavor. It is one of our favorites.
Be careful of oversteeping as this one gets bitter. However I enjoy this one's light black tea flavor.
I've been purchasing this tea for roughly 15 years. Excellent quality and price for Darjeeling Black tea.
Most of my black teas have bold flavors, so it was nice to find a lighter tea that can be enjoyed with any flavor sweet or savory. I even used any "leftovers" for a mild iced tea. Great choice if you want something with less weight for summer
First time trying ROT's Darjeerling. The packaging and look of the tea when opened is fantastic, smells good too. However when brewed, some bitter notes, more than other Darjeeling teas I have tried. Only had one cup so far, so not sure what I think yet. Most teas from ROT are so heavenly, so unexpected that I did not love this one right away.
I really love tea from India. This is a very smooth lighter black tea with a wonderful aroma that you detect with the first sip. A good afternoon tea
Have been buying this Darjeeling tea for past 22 years. Nothing compares!
I was disappointed that the Biodynamic Darjeeling tea was eliminated from the offerings a couple of years ago. Happy to see this Darjeeling full leaf tea appear! It is a light and delicate tea, prefect any time of the day.
I have been looking for a loose Darjeeling that is affordable and tastes great. This tea ticks all my boxes. Darjeeling is easily my favorite tea, although I enjoy trying others. The flavor is mellow with little highlights of fruitiness. I also really like the company's style, which allows me to support independent businesses. The blend and the company are both keepers!
Best daily morning tea -- not too strong. Just perfect!
I use this and Dancing Leaves green tea to make kombucha, it's worked for years.
This is a beautiful tea! The aroma, the taste, the color, everything is perfect. This happens to be one of my go to teas in the morning, I would recommend this to anyone!
I am late to tasting Darjeeling because I was always skeptical about all of the positive buzz and clatter that Darjeeling seems to arrears. A few cups in, I can now say that I get it! This tea is a gentle and sophisticated hug in a cup. it rewards the sipper with a truly enjoyable and uplifting multilayered aroma and taste. It welcomes me at 3 pm and transports me past most daily annoyances. This tea rewards the senses and the soul.
Nice to serve with dessert
I had to give up coffee a couple years ago, because it was triggering migraines. Sigh, it was a sad day. But then I tried Republic of Tea's Darjeeling in a whim and fell in love with the flavor. So now this is what I drink every morning. It's a lighter and more complex flavor than typical plain black tea. Anyway, if you're bored with regular black tea, I highly recommend giving this a shot.
I love the flowery notes of this tea...delicious in the afternoon with lunch, or anytime!
I love this tea and need it to start my day. I love the light taste. I love that it comes as a loose leaf, packaged in a bag, and the bag is sent with environmentally friendly fill. Its a delicious, guilt free start on my day.
This is a magnificent tea, it's my second favorite pure black tea after British Breakfast. This full leaf Darjeeling is smooth and naturally flavorful and nutty. Highly recommended!
This tea is delicious! I've ordered it several times.
The finest tasting tea on the market. Seems expensive, but well worth it.
The Republic of Tea is one of my favorite tea companies. The orders arrive fast and if you ever have problems with an order they are quick to resolve the issue.
Darjeeling is one of my favorite teas!
I love all teas from the Republic but this is my favorite by far. Its soothing, delicious and calming. I could drink this all day!
Just compare, only China's exclusive teas are as good
I'm new to Darjeeling tea. I bought a container of RoT's "first flush" back in the spring and was hooked. (It's pricey but worth every penny.) After they ran out for the season, I tried this one. It's not as interesting a flavor, but it's still really tasty. I used to start my morning with green tea every day. Then I tried RoT's Darjeeling, and there was just no comparison. Green tea tasted boring when I tried it again. If you've never had it, it's hard to describe Darjeeling. It has a beautiful golden color, and it's kind of like a very light black tea -- but there's something different from typical black tea.
This Darjeeling is so smooth and delicious. I was on the fence about this one but added to my order of several full leaf teas. This is my favorite. Try it, I know you will enjoy sipping on this Darjeeling.
I have never tried this tea before. It was very good, i liked it a lot. I think it would be a nice tea to drink all day long.
This is my Personal Favorite! I order it All The Time!! Excellent Value! Excellent Flavor!
Love this tea. It eases me into the day so nicely.
I'm not a huge black tea fan, but I got bored and started trying some. This beat my expectations! My experience with black tea has either been unsweet ice tea from here in Texas or generic black tea bags at diners. This tea is very smooth and surprisingly fruity. Leave the used leaves in the refrigerator in water to cold steep and you will see what I mean. It has the fullness of a black tea but flavor notes of a oolong. I'll defiantly buy again if I want something dark
I've had numerous different brands of Darjeeling tea. One, in tea bag form, is excellent overall. These Republic of Tea Darjeeling leaf tea are right at the top. Excellent value, very tasty for black tea.
A regular for years now for my afternoon cuppa. Can't be beat!
Absolutely love this stuff. If you do it right - 4 minutes brew time, no more, no less - it's utter nectar. Add a short spoon of sugar and a healthy squeeze of fresh lime, and it's beyond amazing! The perfect afternoon tea.
This tea has a very flat taste. I can't recommend it
I love darjeeling and this is my go to one even over single garden and first flush darjeelings. The blend is always consistent and I love it. Thank you!
I love this Darjeeling. It strikes a balance of delicacy and robustness with the flavors hitting so many different notes. I await the spring harvest, as the freshness of those leaves are the only items to possibly elevate this superb tea.
I love Darjeeling and this one is by far the best I have tried. I have had numerous darjeelings, even from single gardens and first flush, but I always return to the Republic Darjeeling.
I first became familiar with this tea when our Houston Heights Woman's Club used this for their Victorian Holiday Tea. I have drunk a lot of tea in my life, but this tea was above and beyond anything I have ever tasted; it's fragrance was clean and rich with a hint of evergreen (pine?) which made it the perfect tea for our holiday event. Two years later I became the "Tea Mistress" for the annual event and now nearly 12 years later it is the only tea we use. Initially we made it pot by pot, but it was inconsistent due to the variation in the size of the pots. Now we have fabric tea bags that allow us to make a great deal of tea at one time. We can serve 80 ladies in less than 10 minutes! I have found that rinsing the leaves in a little boiling water before steeping enhances the flavor greatly. The leaves can also be steeped a second time without sacrificing any flavor. As lovely as it is for the Holidays, it is just as enjoyable year round. It even makes a nice iced tea. No lemon needed!
On my last order, I decided to get smaller quantities of my two regular teas and try several new teas, this being one of them. While I've enjoyed the Darjeeling, it doesn't rank in my top few teas as it just has a hint too much fruity/floral overtones for my personal preference. I can, however, see it being a lovely accompaniment to a light lunch or with an afternoon pastry.
The Darjeeling tea is very smooth and balanced. It makes you feel calm and gives you a clear mind
This tea is my absolute favorite! I drink this every morning and I offer this to anyone who enjoys tea.
A nice deep, malty nose with fruity and floral hints. Makes for a mild hot brew, the tea flavors disappearing with a splash of milk or cream. But served iced, it's a winner. I let this steep for a minute or two longer than recommended (and not much longer, as it will turn bitter) for that beautiful deep color. A crisp, clean, refreshing unsweetened iced tea with mild floral notes.
Bright, full, no need for milk or sweetener. I don't really like the bother of loose tea, but for this fantastic balanced cup I'll keep coming back for more.
My British husband loves this tea. He's been drinking it for years.
Smooth and delicious. Was a gift to a friend who doesn't drink tea and she gave it to me --it came straight from India! Thank God for friends with good taste!
Never had this kind of tea before . It is very smooth and delicate not strong like most black teas. I'm hooked now. Try some.
It has a smooth fruity, clear taste. Its great hot or cold. It doesnt have a bold strong taste like an English Breakfast. So if that is the kind of taste your going for, this isnt the tea. It has a fine delicate taste that I truly enjoy!
Maybe it's me, but it seems this tea has returned to the superior quality offered in the past. For awhile it didn't have that robust flavor and deep, clear color I sought, but this is superb. Please don't change what you're doing.
Here in Texas it is often too hot to drink anything hot, even tea. This tea is absolutely marvelous iced. I make a whole pot the night before and put it in the fridge to cool. It is especially wonderful steeped with a sliced key lime. Go darjeeling!
Delicious! Cannot get enough!
This is a very good tea. I liked it better than I thought I would. It is mild and even a little fruity. Even though I normally don't buy black tea, I think I would order it again.
This tea has a great flavor. Very smooth, with a nice balance. A must buy.
A wonderful tea that we cannot live without!! < 3
I purchase this tea for my son. It is all he will drink. We both are sorry you have discontinued your spring pick darjeeling.Both make a very nice cup of tea. I will say even my Grandchildren like your childrens decafe teas I buy them,especially my Grandaughter....tea parties in crazy crazy hats are fun and tasty.
I love Republic's Darjeeling. This particular batch is a little more musky than I like and than previous batches, but still very good.
I love this tea! I have been looking for a black tea with wonderful flavor and beautiful color for so long. It is very slim pickings where I am, so when I began my search online and found this brand of tea, I became intrigued. This Darjeeling tea is so tasty all times of day be it cold or hot, I look forward to the next cup. Due to the rapid delivery, fantastic tea and competitive pricing, I will be order more of this tea and other flavors as well. Thanks for the great cup of tea!!!
this is my very favorite tea, ever. I dabble with the flavored teas in the summer, but this tea with a dash of cream on a cold winter day is a wonderful warming start to the day or after supper treat.
I like Darjeeling and have for many years. Yours has nice leaves, not broken up all that much and so I bought a pound of the stuff. As the headline indicates, Yummmmmm. And now since it is about 16 degrees outside with a northeast wind blowing at about 10 with gusts, I'm steeping one to consume shortly.
Just tried a tasting tin before jumping in- I'll be back for more. Great after-dinner cup, after the table is cleared. Smooth, but tasty.
Wonderful
My husband and I love this tea weekend mornings in bed...lightly sweetened with honey or plain, it is a weekly indulgence.
