Goodricke Roasted Darjeeling Tea

This tea delivers a bold, malty flavor profile that's quite different from lighter Darjeeling varieties. When you brew it, you'll get a warm amber color and that distinctive strong, malty taste that roasted Darjeeling is known for. Tea lovers familiar with the Indian version say it matches that authentic taste they remember.

Here's where you need to be aware: while many people love the strong malty flavor and authentic Darjeeling character, there have been reports of inconsistency between batches. Some customers received tea with the full roasted aroma they expected, while others noticed the aroma was completely missing or the taste profile was off. It seems freshness and handling can vary.

This is perfect for black tea enthusiasts who appreciate bold, malty flavors rather than delicate or floral notes. If you've had authentic Goodricke Darjeeling in India and loved it, this matches that profile. It's also great for anyone wanting a robust morning tea with character—not a subtle afternoon sipper.

Given that some customers have mentioned freshness issues, it's extra important to transfer this tea to an airtight container as soon as you receive it. The roasted aroma is part of what makes this tea special, so protecting it from air and moisture will help maintain that quality throughout the 250g package.

Regular Darjeeling tends to be lighter, more floral, and delicate—often called the 'champagne of teas.' This roasted version goes in the opposite direction: it's bold, malty, and robust. The roasting process gives it that deeper, warmer character with stronger flavor notes. Think of it as Darjeeling with more muscle.
