Darjeeling - 50 Tea Bags

First steeping fills the kitchen with that classic muscatel aroma, and the flavor stays smooth even after three minutes rather than turning bitter. The individually wrapped bags make it easy to brew a proper cup at the office without any mess.

The second cup I brewed had that unmistakable muscatel edge—fruity but not sweet, exactly what I hoped from a Himalayan black. Each bag held up for two steeps without turning bitter, which makes the box feel like a steal.

I steeped a cup right after breakfast and the liquor came out a bright, clear amber—so smooth, no bitterness even after three minutes. Fifty bags in the box means I’ve got a solid month of this Himalayan gold ahead.
