Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Warm and inviting; with notes of stone-fruits with notes of honeyed nuts and hints of dried figs
Appearance
Orange Amber
Taste
A medium-bodied cup with a gentle, velvety texture. It opens with a delightful register of stone-fruit notes that gradually evolve into warm nutty accents at the heart. Subtle musky undertones weave through the edges, layered with hints of caramel that add depth and a rounded feel to the liquor.

The finish is smooth and refined, leaving a lingering sweetness and faint whispers of spice—an exquisite autumnal black tea from this renowned plantation.

Best tea I’ve ever had

I can’t go back to supermarket-bought teabags after drinking Teabox teas for over two years. I used to think I did not like Darjeeling teas until I tried Teabox’s Darjeelings, and now I am a convert. The teas are super flavorful and super fresh. Prices are reasonable and they even have sales (price reductions). Shipment is quick, especially considering that shipments are coming overseas from India. It’s such a delight to see the tea leaves unfurling in hot water, and not be left with just tea crumbs in the strainer. Their chais are also delicious!

Taste of spring

This tea is nearly perfect if you love floral teas. It's taste is light and pleasant on the tongue

Good, not as robust as last year

Good, flavorful, smooth, not as robust and strong as last years version which I picked from the tea sampler as exceptional. This is a good evening tea, more typical of Darjeeling. Personally, I like a stronger malty Assam and I'm more satisfied with Harmutty and Halmari teas. Teas do vary year to year. I've tried most of the black teas offered by this company.

Reminds me Chinese oolong...

Reminds me Chinese oolong tea from Guangdong. Nutty, floral, good extra virgin olive oil notes, almonds, peach. Excellent example of second flush Darjeeling tea.

Highly recommended

I have been it love for many years but like almost South Indians I had mil Kitty. I had the box had introduced me to the potentially the right way of making tea by Britain water without burning it and then adding test dollop of milk whenever you order and duty is there is always in an over excitement around that will turn out good the or whether you like it or not I think when I ordered the give the bahar Chennai black I will happen MI tradition but the moment I breathe it and I tasted it it had just the right consistency and and the substance to make for beautiful cup in the evening
Highly recommended
