June, 2023. Denver, Colorado.
First thing that struck me about this batch of Makaibari Autumnal black tea from 2022 was the aroma of the tea in the lovely packaging that it arrived in. I wasn't expecting anything spectacular but this batch was a pleasant surprise as there was a promising fragrance from the package! So far ... so good!
The fragrance in the cup once I brewed the first cup was, again, promising. When I sipped it, I was very pleasantly surprised with the flavour. It definitely had the Darjeeling magic that I have loved since I was a student in Darjeeling many years ago.
I then added a touch of milk and sugar - my preferred way of enjoying my Darjeeling tea - and was able to close my eyes and thoroughly enjoy the experience!!
I am contemplating purchasing some more of this batch of tea if it is still in stock!
I've tried Makaibari Autumnal from Slvertips Tea several times before but I think this is the best I've ever had!
Very pleasantly surprised and satisfied customer!!!
Thank you!!
Very glad and relieved, particularly as the last order did not meet your expectations. Very important that we keep our old-school Darjeeling students happy! Appreciate your comments and enjoy the tea.
This has been my go to tea for such a long time. I know I will always get an uplift in the afternoon or a boost to get up and go first thing in the morning. It is forgiving in steep times, it can stand multiple infusions and it tolerates milk and sugar.
It gives me a generous cup of tea reminiscent of that which my own mother offered me. You will never go wrong with an autumnal and if it is from Makaibari you are quite ensured and will obtain fulsome satisfaction in a cup.
This tea has a lot of fans. The Autumnal steeps up a darker, more substantial cup than the 1st or 2nd flush and tolerates a bit of milk. But it still retains that special Darjeeling floral note. Glad it's become your go-to tea!

Let customers speak for us
from 411 reviewsI ran out of my CTC Organic Assam tea and was so happy to see the box arrive on my doorstep! I was slumming it with tea bags - horror!
I love the robust flavor of this Assam tea. It is great in the morning, throughout the day, and is a star when I host a Tea Party!
I have been shopping with Silver Tips Teas for years and they are always prompt, precise, and timely. I can't see going anywhere else for my tea supply needs!
What a creative blend featuring chai! The cardamom and ginger spice layered with the subtle sweetness of the chocolate round out this chai in a way that only makes perfect and absolute sense. It truly is a testament to Silver Tips’ magic in curating their blends. An absolute treat for fall!
What can I say! My friend who also grew up local to Silver Tips recommended this as her favorite blend from Silver Tips. The blue flowers in this make this so special and beautiful. An absolutely breathtaking London Fog this makes for, too!! Fantastic as a cold brew tea for those of us sensitive to the caffeine levels of hot tea. Please continue making this for as long as you can!
This is a sensational offering from Silver Tips and is a testament to the reverence with which the and their partners craft their teas. I’ve never tried form this estate before and it is a beautifully bodied black tea. Thank you!
Thank you Silver Tips for this broken black tea resort on the wonderfully classic breakfast blend! It has become a staple and actually makes for a wonderful cold brew tea for those of us sensitive to the caffeine levels of hot black tea. Also love adding maple syrup & milk for the experience of being in the gorgeous northeast! I am thankful to experience your offerings from afar!
Thank you Silver Tips, Anupa & the team that makes this phenomenal blend possible!! Growing up I was local to Silver Tips and it is an immense privilege to be able to experience their offerings once again through their online shop after moving. This makes for a sensational cold brew tea with a subtle yet potent and steady caffeine boost throughout the day— this is my daily tea now! I have been brewing 2 tablespoons per quart of cold filtered water in the fridge nitty for 12-16 hours, depending on the strength you like, in a mason jar filter (you can also brew loose, just strain the water after). The vanilla flavoring paired with the black tea addition makes this one of a kind. The aroma is wonderful. Thank you so so much!! I hope you can continue offering this blend for years to come!
Silver Tips teas are always if the finest quality
I have only bought cheap teas off the A word and I am very upset with myself for never trying you till now. This is the best tea I have ever tasted hands down
This is my all time favorite tea. It smells and tastes wonderfully.
This has become a favorite after receiving a free sample and then ordering some more, which is now all gone! Some chai with clove in it is overwhelmed by that strong flavor, but here the balance is perfect. There is a hint of clove if I look for it, and the pepper is pleasantly noticeable. A nice addition on my tea shelf beside the original Silver Tips chai.
A lovely, medium body tea, good any time of day!
Every time I need the best service and the best tea recommended by the most caring and knowledgeable person, I call Silver Tips and the owner takes care of me herself...Truly a Delight!!
delicious hot or cold
Excellent! High end tea! Lingering taste! Superior tea
Perfect flavor combination I order this tea over and I we again!
