 Weak and inferior to other brands September 8, 2010
Brandon H. Einhorn (Millburn, NJ United States)
I prefered the Twinings Darjeeling over the Bigelow.
The Bigelow seemed weaker and didn't taste as good.
I used the correct amount of water, brewed the water to 192 F, let the bag sit for 5 minutes.
This worked well for the Twinings, not so well for the Bigelow.
I will try letting it sit for 30 seconds less, and try using 1 less ounce of water.

 Good, but not one of my top-tier Bigelow favorites June 19, 2009

I'm clearly in the minority here, as Darjeeling is not one of my favorite Bigelow varieties. It is a good tea, and I enjoy drinking it, and I would never be unhappy if someone served it to me. In fact, I do keep some in my house, and brew up a cup every couple weeks or so. But Darjeeling isn't one of my top tier Bigelow favorites, and there are several others I drink more frequently.
This is strictly a black tea (which is what I most prefer), without any additions, although when I do my teabag deep sniff (my favorite moment with any tea, right after I rip open a foil bag!) with Darjeeling, there is a hint of what is almost a lemon scent. There is no lemon added to this tea, but it's interesting that the scent is there, particularly as another reviewer says this is the only tea he doesn't "have" to add lemon to.
The flavor is quite good, but my main complaint is that it is weaker, or more mellow, than I prefer. When I drink Darjeeling, I find myself wishing there was more of the flavor present. It is often described as "rich" or "robust" but I think there are other straight black teas that better meet those terms.
If you also find Darjeeling a little mellow for your tastes, I suggest you try the Bigelow English Breakfast (don't confuse this with the Bigelow English Teatime!) variety, which is also a straight black tea.
I always drink tea straight--no sugar, no honey, no lemon, no milk! So my reviews are my opinions of the straight tea flavor, not how it interacts with another agent. I drink Bigelow tea almost exclusively, because it's readily available, modestly priced, and has lots of varieties that are all of decent quality. If I give a Bigelow flavor less stars, it reflects only my taste preference, and is not a statement of low product quality.

This tea is hard to find in grocery stores even the ones carrying Bigelow. Darjeeling is a rich black tea and I drink it all the time. I usually order this (comes in a batch of 6 boxes of 20 bags) every 3 months with super saving shipping about every couple of months...
Anyone will love this tea! October 11, 2008

If you like tea as I do, you will really like this tea. This is not flavored or blended. Sure, I know it is "bag" tea and not "loose", and I know all about all the other things like the flush (harvest), the cut and such, but you don't have to be a tea "snob" to like this tea. I find that if I brew it with less than boiling water -around 190-200 degrees (just boil and wait a minute after pouring the water in the cup before adding the bag) and steep for 3 minutes, it comes out perfect. If I do want to sweeten it, I use orange blossom honey and it is great! Best of all, I didn't break the bank to get tea that I could enjoy. You can spend more, a lot more, and get "better", but I am perfectly happy with this because it is good tea, and at the rate I drink it, it is saving me a bunch of money. To me, that makes it taste even better!
