Well, I'll ask this question of you, then.
When I was a kid, Darjeeling teas were much darker than they are today. It seems that over the years they have become less and less fermented.
I have been told that what I need to ask for in order to get the old style darker tea is a "fully-withered Darjeeling." I have found a few of them, such as the Rohini Enigma and one of the Puttabong estate teas.
What other ones are out there?

I've tended to find Darjeelings too weak for my taste. Do the fully withered ones have more character? Toci
Yes! Try the Rohini Enigma, or ask Upton's for a sample of their Makaibari estate second flush (DJ-141). I think you will be much happier than you are with the modern Darjeelings.

Thanks. Toci
