Advantages: Worth the effort...

Disadvantages: but more fussy to brew

I bought a 50 pack of these tea bags. I'd tried Darjeeling loose leaf somewhere, and quite liked it, so decided to find some to go in my tea pot. Darjeeling, by comparison, is a fairly light coloured and strength tea. As well as that you have to be more careful when brewing it. With many tea types if you leave the bag, or leaves, in for a little more than 4 or 5 minutes, the tea won't take much fault. But with these you get a noticeable bitter taste if left for any longer than 5 minutes at all, I would recommend brewing 3 and a half to four minutes. Despite this I would still consider them worth buying.
They have a flavour that you really don't get with other tea types, a lovely aroma, and almost a spicy, muskiness, which you certainly won't find in other varieties. Due to the lack of strength in relation to say, English Breakfast, you probably don't want to brew this tea on a morning, when only something strong will do. These are better drunk when you aren't in a rush, don't need waking up, and have time to enjoy the day, and of course, not least, the tea.

Summary: A nice light refreshing tea

I think they were about £2.20 for a pack of 50, from Waitrose.

Hi stephen, welcome to dooyoo! This is a great first review... and we definitely agree that only something strong in the morning will do! ;) Look forward to reading more of your reviews soon.
