I've bought Twinings Darjeeling (loose) and I don't like it at all. I've also tried other cheap brands (lipton, I belive) and it was also worthless. This would lead me to the conclusion that I simply dont like darjeeling if it wasn't that I have also tried some First Flush from the teastore and it was not only good, it was nothing like the Twinings or Lipton varieties.
So do I have a question? Is there some kind of standard Darjeeling or is it a very wide category? Can you expect anything from a tea bearing that name?
