From Teabox

This is a royal spring flush Darjeeling black tea blend created by our master blenders using hand-picked teas. This is our first in-house blend from within the Royal series.
The aroma of this tea has a welcoming woody note accentuated by sweet menthol-like accents. The liquor itself is well-rounded, tastes mildly sweet and slightly pungent. And it finishes rather strong, leaving quite a mouth-feel behind. Ideal for a sip in the wee hours of the day.

I drank this tea this morning, but even while I was drinking it, I was having a hard time describing it. It’s definitely a Darjeeling, spicy, fruity, tangy? But also unique. Quite light in colour and body. Between sips I kept forgetting what it tasted like, aside from “good”.

I really enjoyed this. The only downside is I was getting a touch of bitterness in the back of my mouth, sometimes noticeable and sometimes barely there. It wasn’t like tea bitterness, but reminded me of when I’ve taken mediation that messes up my tastebuds (except I haven’t recently.)

I’ll have to give this another spin and see if I can describe it better.

Ooh, I’ve been looking for a nice loose leaf Darjeeling. Let me know how the second time around goes!

I literally have all the Darjeelings that Teabox stocks (or that they stocked in October 2014.) I’ll be doing tasting notes on them a bit at a time. If you like muscatel Darjeelings, this one was really good: http://steepster.com/teas/teabox/42861-darjeeling-premium-muscatel-blend-summer-black-tea

Mike

Awesome, thanks! I do like them! I’ll check their teas! Add another to the list! :P

Wow, that’s great, thanks! I’ll sign up right now! :)

Mike

Sooooooo many Darjeelings to choose from, whoa! I’ll get that Premium Muscatel you mentioned. Would you recommend any other one to try? Thanks again!

Mike

I think I’ll start with the Beginners Collection and the Muscatel Collection to try out a bunch of samples, then I"ll order more of the teas I like! I’m excited! :)

Mike

I ended up purchasing 200g of the Seeyok Muscatel, since it was on sale, and the Beginner’s Collection!
