Earl Grey

A matter of opinion, I suppose. I like it. It is within my budget and I know what to expect when I purchase it.

It is Darjeeling. Perhaps not 100% Darjeeling, and undoubtedly not first or second flush Darjeeling, but there is enough Darjeeling in the blend to be legally labelled as such. I do not care for it, but I am not a Darjeeling sort of person, anyway.

Do you happen to know if they have an English language website?

Of course it is. Not good tea, but tea nonetheless. They actually have a decent English Breakfast blend. It was on sale at my local supermarket; actually it was marked down because they are discontinuing it. I bought some just to sample, and it was not bad at all. Infinitely superior to their regular blend. It is not easy to find, and I would not bother to seek it out again, as it is actually more expensive than Twinings, and I like Twinings English Breakfast better. But Lipton ought to package this stuff as their regular blend.
