Excellent, smooth, tea

My husband and I found this tea ZingyZang about 15 years ago and have been drinking it since. We have tried many teas and consider ourselves tea snobs. We thoroughly enjoy this tea.

Have been drinking this for years every day. A wonderful and highly satisfying tea.

Light, floral, refreshing. I drink it anytime of day.

Best tea to get your day up and rolling. Strong, caffeinated and powerful, it is a kick in the pants. A daily favorite.

I like a strong tea with a rich flavor and this tea hits the mark every time! It is my go to morning cup and most often what I drink later in the day. There is nothing quite like that first sip of the day!

I have been a serious iced tea drinker all of my adult life, and besides water, it’s all I drink. Thus Mango tea is one of my top favorites I can’t be without.

Wonderful tea. I’ve been drinking it for years. Perfect in the morning or afternoon. I put a little hint of honey in my perfect brew.

Normally I'm an Assam girl, but when this year's Makaibari first flush tea came out, I was intrigued, and thought I'd give it a try. I am officially a fan! It's crisp, clean and flavorful. The taste is rich and complex enough for my morning cup. Definitely best without milk, so all the flavors can find full expression.

Vayu blend is one of my favorites of Silver Tips Ayurvedic herbal teas. It's fresh and aromatic with a smooth, silky finish. And who can resist those tiny rose buds?

I'm always nervous when I sip the first cup of a new batch tea, because you never know if it will live up to previous years' harvests.

Makaibari 2nd Flush is possibly the best I have tasted from this garden.

Full disclosure, I drink my tea with milk and sugar so I stay away from 1st Flush - regardless of which Tea Estate it is from.

I always try a new 2nd Flush as my first morning tea and my first few sips are before I add milk or sugar. Then I add only as much milk and sugar as I think the tea will tolerate.
My first cup, following the brewing directions on the package, came out a little strong so I brewed another cup with 1 heaped regular teaspoon [not a teaspoon measure] - for three minutes. Perfect ... for me at least.

I have to be careful with the milk and sugar or that glorious Darjeeling flavour is drowned. Most of my friends who have worked in and managed Darjeeling tea estates shake their heads when I tell them I add milk and sugar, but this batch handles it very well.
If you want to know the 'taste of Darjeeling', this is a very good place to start.
I'm ordering more of it as soon as I finish this review.

This review wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention the stellar customer service that I have always had from SilverTips Tea. You won't find a more responsive, caring and knowledgeable retailer! Thank you so much.

I find the distinct flavor of Makhabari Second Flush to be a favorite all day; First Flush, Earl Grey, and classic Chai are reserved for morning - refreshing and strong. The scent of Silver Tips tea lingers in a full pot, ready for seconds. Thank you!

I've been drinking Samovar tea as my favored morning tea for many years. It's a rich full body tea that I truly enjoy.

I love this tea. I drink it every day and give it as gifts to people I love.

Hints of cocoa, smoke and exotic fruits with the typical caramelization in the cup. Perfect iced also
