Reading over the reviews of this tea, I felt I need to speak up. This tea $3 a box. If you handed me a random tea and said “I only payed $3 for the whole box”… I’d probably dump it out in your house plant and pretend to drink from the empty cup whenever you looked.
Now, with that said, I don’t feel that this tea is that bad at all. It has the very classic and stereotypical flavor of darjeeling. It can be quite bitter very quickly if you don’t watch it, but the aroma and full bodied flavor is definitely way above par for the price if the brew is good. I’m very sensitive to bitter tastes, and like to add too much sugar and some milk to this tea- this makes it VERY malty (obviously, but more than expected), and has lingering aftertaste of green grapes(?).

I have found that price isn’t necessarily an indicator of whether I will like a tea or not. I have had cheap teas that I have really enjoyed and expensive teas that I couldn’t stand.
In general I have found that loose leaf is what I tend to enjoy the most. Bagged I will drink, but most just don´t live up to the loose leaf teas that I cherish and enjoy. : )
I think This Darjeeling is a decent bagged tea.
