A different brand of tea today. Last year I spotted a brand called "storm" in my local TKMaxx, so I thought I would give it a go. Unfortunately I have not seen this tea since.

Storm is a company based in the North East, specialising in organic loose leaf teas.
This darjeeling consists of Finest Tippy Golden Flowering Orange Pekoe, which means that the quality is excellent- this is the middle grade of darjeeling loose leaf. The leaves are almost green in colour rather than the dark brown usually associated with black teas. When brewed, the tea is pale golden in colour.
Darjeeling is likened to the muscatel grape, and you can taste a grape flavour, like the skin rather than the flesh. It is a slightly astringent taste, but not unlikeable. I tend to add a splash of milk which helps remove the astringency. It is a nice refreshing drink and makes a good afternoon tea- it's very fresh and flowery.
