I'm on a weekend vacation and forgot to bring my tea and the international grocery didn't have it, so I settled for Darjeeling. I can barely notice the difference. It's so subtle that it might as well just be a different tea brand.

do you mind me asking about the amount of tea you have used as well as the time you let it sit for? most black tea like darjeeling and blends of breakfast teas taste very similar if brewed too strong (i.e. too much tea or too much time). i like to use about a tee spoon full of tea for a mug size and let it sit for about 3-4min max.

I am confused as to why you spelled “tea” correctly six time in your comment, and then spelled “teaspoon” (a spoon used for stirring & measuring tea) wrong.

Not criticizing, just confused.

lol i wondered why i looked so wrong but couldn't put my finger on it. truthfully though: "tee" would be the proper spelling in my native language and i haven't had a cup of tea yet so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you dropped this \

(because \ is an escape character, you must use ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ to correctly display ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

You appear to be missing an arm so I'll forgive you..... this time.
