Tesco Finest Darjeeling

This used to be a very acceptable darjeeling,perhaps a little on the bland side but very refreshing.The blend has been completely changed.It has a very unpleasanr aftertaste.Good darjeeling does not come cheap anymore.It is necessary to buy though a specialist tea shop

Tried this today for the first time. The box mentioned that this tea was best enjoyed without milk, which I ignored. To be fair, I did only add in a small amount of milk to the cup.

This is a very light and refreshing brew- don't try making it if you want to get yourself out of that winter morning slumber, because you'll just fail. A cup of tea this weak is best suited for lazy summer afternoons- and that's my only minor gripe with it.

The box clearly stated it was only a mild cup of tea- I would never expect to be bouncing off the walls afterwards. But it just tasted of almost nothing. If you let it brew for a while it does gain a gradual taste- and I do mean gradual. What little taste there is, is by no means unpleasant. This is actually a really nice cup of tea, if you don't like strong tea that much.

I still have 49 teabags left, which I'll drink black in accordance with the instructions on the box. Maybe it'll taste a bit nicer then, but for the time being I know how I can make it taste a bit better- don't add milk, and let it brew for longer.

I think this was the best tea i had ever had.

I couldn't understand the problem some face with the strength. This tea is light tea for goodness sake. So enjoy it.

I love trying different teas and as this was one I had heard of but never tried, I thought I would give it a go.

I did not like it at all. It was far too weak for my tastes in tea! And flavourless! You may like it, but only if you prefer weaker tea. I still have an almost full box left which I am about to dispose of. It may be worth trying Darjeeling in a Cafe before you buy Tesco Finest Darjeeling boxed tea or tea-bags. Maybe Twinings is better? I won't be trying any Darjeeling tea again as I know of many teas I much prefer to this rather weak looking and tasting tea. I give it a 1/10 as it is just about drinkable if you're gagging for a cuppa!
