I’m fairly certain this is what I’m actually drinking. It came in a subscription box from the super-sketchy tastecha.com (rip-off, strongly suggest to avoid) labelled “Temi Sikkim”, but the description they provided was identical to Metropolitan’s, so…
Anyway, this is actually a really nice tea. The dry leaves are a mix of colours, mostly black but some brown and some lighter (greenish or grey). It has floral notes in the aroma, maybe a hint of bread or biscuit as well. I was thinking that it reminded me of a darjeeling, and then found out Sikkim teas are described as “darjeeling-style”. The flavour is very light and smooth, a bit floral, a bit fruity (some muscatel, I think), slightly sweet, and with a slight astringency as I reach the bottom of the cup.

Sorry the subscription box ended up not being value for your money. There are lots of great MTC teas, but I would be super grumpy if that’s all I was receiving in an expensive subscription, since they can be gotten for so cheap so many places.
I knew it was a risk when I signed up for it, sometimes I’m willing to pay for the novelty of an experience. :) But the novelty wore off pretty quick. :p
