Nepal Second Flush Loose Leaf Tea - Ilam Estate TGFOP Black Tea

Quite nice but not like a 2nd Flush Darjeeling

I was hoping this tea would be a convincing substitute for my favourite 2nd Flush Darjeeling which is proving very difficult to find (or at least at an affordable price). The website promised a muscatel note but I don't get that. However, it makes a perfectly enjoyable cup of tea.

not the greatest of teas

I expected, from the description, great surprises, but sadly got none at all. Rather insipid. Must be my taste buds.

Ilam Estate

The best afternoon tea available. I first met Ilam tea in a tea shop in Ely many years ago and I have drunk nothing else in the afternoon since. It took me a little time to find a supplier but you have kept me supplied over the years. Thank you
