Golden Moon Organic Darjeeling Loose Leaf Tea

This Darjeeling has a noticeably bold, robust flavor profile that stands out from lighter Darjeelings. Reviewers specifically mention the 'strong flavor' and 'rich' taste, which is perfect if you prefer a tea that doesn't need a lot of steeping time or excessive amounts to get a satisfying cup. It delivers that characteristic Darjeeling taste without being bitter.

Absolutely. The loose leaf format is actually ideal for learning because you can control the strength to your liking, and the flavor profile is straightforward and pleasant. One thing to note: this tea comes as broken leaves rather than whole leaves, which actually makes it more forgiving for beginners since broken leaves infuse faster and you don't need as much technique to get good results.

Yes, you're getting 96 servings in this bulk package, so if you're a daily tea drinker, this will last you about three months. That's one of the benefits of buying loose leaf in bulk—it's more economical than individual tea bags, especially with organic quality tea like this.

Not at all. Despite having a strong, bold flavor, reviewers specifically note that this tea is 'not bitter.' That's actually a great combination—you get plenty of flavor without the astringency that can sometimes come with robust black teas. Just avoid oversteeping and you'll get a smooth, rich cup every time.

Since this is sold in bulk, freshness can vary depending on when the batch was packaged. One reviewer mentioned their package didn't taste as fresh as expected, so when you receive it, check that it has a vibrant aroma. Store it in an airtight container away from light and heat to maintain the flavor, and you'll get the best results from those bold, rich Darjeeling notes.

Start with about 1 teaspoon per 8 oz cup and adjust from there. Because this has a strong flavor profile, you might find you can use a bit less than other Darjeelings. One reviewer did mention needing a 'large amount for flavor,' but most found the tea delivers rich taste without excessive amounts. Experiment to find your sweet spot—that's the beauty of loose leaf.
