Weak and disappointing
I have loved Darjeeling tea since visiting Darjeeling some years ago. I saw a box of Ahmad Darjeeling Tea in a local shop and was so pleased. What a disappointment. So weak, and no Darjeeling flavour at all.

I have loved Darjeeling tea since visiting Darjeeling some years ago. I saw a box of Ahmad Darjeeling Tea in a local shop and was so pleased. What a disappointment. So weak, and no Darjeeling flavour at all.
THE EARL GREY ALMOST UNRECOGNIZABLE, VERY WEAK FLAVOUR OF BERGAMOT, THE BLACK TEA ITSELF AGAIN NOT A PLEASANT TASTE. BEEN ALWAYS USING STASSEN, I'LL BETTER STICK TO IT IN THE FUTURE.
Tea is OK, but watch out for old stock. Just paid full price for tea that was packed two years ago! I raised it with Ahmad but was told that to return it I would have to pay for postage. Selling tea that is already two years old with no warning, then expecting me to pay to return it, is somewhat shoddy.
