Excellent

I really enjoy the Darjeeling. It tastes great and the fact that it's organic sets me at ease regarding chemical pesticides which are so common in agriculture today. I brew it for 3 minutes in a French press. Quick and easy and comes out perfect. A single teaspoon of tea leaves gives me 2 cups of tea. I will buy more

Love this!

I tried several different samples of the black teas as I recently switched from my morning coffee to tea. The Darjeeling First Flush is just lovely. I would say quite different than the English Breakfast (an old favorite) and the Assam (a new favorite). It’s definitely one of my new favs that I will always have on hand. I highly recommend you give it a try!

Delightful!

I ordered 3 sample bags of various teas and enjoyed each one very much! The flavor on each one was delightful! I'm coming back to order a full size bag of the Darjeeling and Oolong because I enjoyed them so much. Thank you, Full Leaf Tea Co!
