tekuj,

Thanks so much for posting your opinion of these teas, and your
recommendations from among them. Since I am still quite new to the
world of Darjeelings, I was a little worried that my approval of
Thunderbolt may not have agreed with your more experienced palate.
I'm relieved to see that you like them. Also, it is very educational
for me to understand how the Thunderbolt products measure up to other
darjeelings, as I gain a little more experience.

Shen, thanks for telling us all about the Lochan offer. I'm sort of
drowning in tea at the moment, but may have to take them up.

I do have the impression that a little "Indian revival" may be
happening in the tea blogosphere, as more people are finding access to
better Indian products. They certainly do make nice change from the
(also) wonderful Chinese teas I have been drinking.
