The spices are somewhat mellow in this blend, but they are evenly balanced. This isn’t a particularly spicy chai, and it is one that I’d recommend this chai to those who want a good, strong tea that’s mildly spiced.

Darjeeling Castleton from Georgia Tea Company is an excellent Darjeeling. The flavor is sweet with honey-esque tones but without the heaviness that often accompanies a honey-like sweetness in a tea. There is also a lovely fruit tone to this tea that is enhanced by the sweet essence.

Although this tea is unique as a Darjeeling Earl Grey, I feel this tea is much more of a Darjeeling with bergamot flavoring than an Earl Grey using Darjeeling tea, if such a distinction can be made.

The Darjeeling from Two Leaves and a Bud is an organic first flush with a light copper liquor. The taste is slightly tannic, but not overly bitter with a clean astringency, while the aroma is slightly floral. The pungent nature of the tea is characteristic of the brisk first flushes.

The leaves are long and wiry, and have that lovely sweet grape-like muscatel aroma. After steeping, the liquor also has the scent of sweet muscatel, reminding me of a fragrant apple blossom. There is also a faint woodsy smell, as if I was walking through damp leaves and twigs. Upon tasting the tea, the muscatel and woodsy notes are there, but they are quieter. A faint astringency lingers. The tea becomes more thick and full bodied farther down in the cup. A delicious experience.

A mixture of Cream Earl Grey, Darjeeling tea, and a “secret ingredient”, one can most prominently taste the lovely bergamot from the Earl Grey, which has a gorgeous crisp citrus flavor. This is a very mellow, solid cup of tea, a perfect afternoon tea that is not too bold, but also not a “light” tea.

This blend of Darjeeling and Chinese black teas creates a remarkable flavor that dances upon the palate. There is very little to no smoke flavor to this tea, which is probably why I find it so appealing. The flavor is smooth, and there is a mild to medium astringency to the tea that leaves a clean finish, with hints of musk and spice in the aftertaste.
