Makaibari Roasted Darjeeling Loose Leaf Black Tea, 100g Tin Caddy, 100% Darjeeling Long Leaf Tea, Smoky Flavor

I have been drinking Makaibari for over a decade, and ordering from their online shop for the last 3 years, but was pleasantly surprised to find the Smoky Mountain tin delivering in the US from their Amazon store. I typically buy it from Spicewaala (in store) in Seattle but wanted to give the online order a try. Tea showed up within 48 hours and tastes perfect. If you're used to the non-smoky Makaibari, or like your tea between golden and red, then remember to steep this one for about 3 minutes. If you mostly drink tea with milk, I recommend you give this a shot without milk first. You won't need a morning cup of coffee anymore if you start your day with this. If you want a lighter tea for the afternoon or evening, I recommend their Summer Solstice.

Nice flavour,rich taste and refreshing vigor.

Good darjeeling tea hot or cold. Medium astringency was pleasant compared to lower grades that I've had. Price is ok, although I typically get cheaper from other tea vendors. I would recommend this over any bagged version

The quality of the tea is superb, but the packaging by the seller is extremely poor.

Pricy but a very nice treat. Being a disabled Veteran money is very tight for my family. Hope the price goes down.
