Lipton Darjeeling Tea (250g)

This is actual Darjeeling tea with the characteristic flavor profile you'd expect from the region. Several reviewers specifically mention appreciating the 'Darjeeling character' and 'rich aroma' that sets it apart from generic black teas. While it carries the Lipton brand name, it delivers authentic Darjeeling notes rather than just being rebranded standard black tea.

The flavor strength sits in the moderate range. Most reviewers describe it as having 'good flavor' that's pleasant and approachable, though one reviewer noted it brewed weaker than expected even with extended steeping. If you're looking for an intensely bold, punch-you-in-the-face Darjeeling, this might not be it—but for everyday drinking with recognizable Darjeeling character, it hits the mark for most people.

Absolutely. The Lipton brand name provides that trust factor when you're exploring new tea territory, and the preparation is straightforward—no guessing games. You'll get a taste of what Darjeeling offers without the intimidation factor of premium loose-leaf options. It's a solid entry point to understand whether Darjeeling's distinctive profile is something you want to explore further.

It might work as a daily drinker, but manage your expectations. At least one reviewer who clearly knows their Darjeeling appreciated the authentic character, so it's not completely disappointing to experienced palates. That said, if you're accustomed to high-grade, estate-specific Darjeelings, this will feel like a step down in complexity and depth. Think of it as your weekday tea rather than your special occasion cup.

You'll get that signature Darjeeling character—a lighter-bodied black tea with floral and slightly muscatel notes, backed by a rich aroma that announces itself when you open the package. The flavor is present but moderate, not overwhelming. It's smooth enough to drink without milk, though some prefer adding a splash. Just note that one reviewer found it surprisingly weak even after long brewing, so your mileage may vary depending on your steeping technique and water temperature.

You're getting 250g (about 8.82 ounces) in a single pack, which translates to roughly 80-100 cups depending on how strong you brew it. For a branded Darjeeling from a recognized name like Lipton, the quantity is decent for everyday drinking without breaking the bank. It's positioned as an accessible option rather than a premium splurge.
