If you want any second flush Darjeeling from Thunderbolt you'd better hurry - and be happy with Margaret's Hope China - because the 2006 isn't out yet and nearly all the 2005 is gone. As previously written, Thunderbolt tea is delightful stuff, and $11.00 for 250gms of fair trade Darjeeling straight from the source is a magnificent price (even I am tempted to buy some despite having a heaping tea-station full of assorted herb and leaf).
Tea is good stuff - fights cancer, even - and loose tea is not only the right thing to do from a hippy perspective, it is much tastier (the water circulates more evenly than in bags and the leaves are generally higher quality overall). Russians call the bagged stuff postman's tea because it comes in envelopes. [GT[
