Okay, here’s my blog post about my experience with Lipton Darjeeling Black Tea:

So, I’ve been trying to get into different kinds of teas lately. I usually just grab whatever’s on sale, you know, the basic stuff. But I saw this Lipton Darjeeling Black Tea and figured, why not? I’d heard Darjeeling was supposed to be fancy.

My Little Tea Experiment

First thing I did was boil some water. Nothing special, just my usual electric kettle. While that was going, I opened up the box of tea bags. They were individually wrapped, which I guess is nice for keeping them fresh.

I grabbed a mug – my favorite one with the chipped handle – and popped a tea bag in. Once the water was ready, I poured it over the tea bag. I let it sit there for, oh, I don’t know, maybe three or four minutes? I wasn’t really timing it, just kind of eyeballed it until the color looked dark enough.

I fished out the tea bag with a spoon and gave it a little squeeze. I’m not even sure if that’s the right way to do it, but it’s what I always do.

• The Smell: It had a bit of a floral smell. Kinda different, not bad, just different.
• The Taste: It was…okay. Not super strong, kind of light and a little bit bitter. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it either. I added a tiny little sugar, and it tasted better.

I drank the whole mug while I was working on my computer. It was a nice change of pace from my usual coffee, I guess. I even do a little work today.

Final Thoughts

Would I buy it again? Maybe. It wasn’t a life-changing experience, but it was decent. If I saw it on sale, I’d probably pick it up. I am planning to drink the others in the following days. For now, it’s a perfectly fine cup of tea, especially if you’re looking for something a little different from the usual stuff.
