I'm impressed that the leaves are in such good condition. Upton always filled my samples half with fannings. Both samples from C-S are in perfect shape exactly as they appear on the site. This tea is also so much less bitter/astringent. Supposedly it's Moonlight style but it's not particularly low oxidation.
These were the only two Darjeelings I got, which are both expensive AV2 clonals, so maybe it's misleadingly good. But two thumbs up for C-S for Darjeeling if you want to try samples without paying high shipping fees.
