Title: very good darjeeling for the money
Product review: Very happy with this tea. Light, pleasant, NOT bitter.To those compaining about the particle size; if you strain it after it is brewed, many more particles will be removed AFTER the tea swells from rehydration. If you are then somehow offended by the few particles remaining, filter it.To those compaining about bitterness; I wonder if they know how to properly brew a cup of fine tea. Do NOT use boiling water. Use water heated only to 180 degrees, or allow to cool first to 180. Water much hotter than that will bring bitterness from tannin release. That is true for most teas. Buy a thermometer.I steep mine for 3 to 4 minutes in 180 to 185 degree water, then strain, then reheat the strained tea to serving temperature. Very good without sweetener.
