As far as I can tell, Darjeeling and regular old Irish breakfast tea essentially taste the same. But the former is more expensive. I think I've been scammed by Big Tea.

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.

Are you comparing bagged tea or looseleaf? I feel like bagged tea tends to taste pretty similar, especially if sourced from a grocery store vs a tea shop.
Bagged. And that could be the case.
Seconded. Most grocery store brands are low quality tea. Think grocery store tea is to good tea as Folgers instant is to a decent coffee shop fresh grind.
Good tea isn’t easy to find, at least in the US.
If you can find a place that sells good tea loose leaf you’ll enjoy it much more and be able to taste differences.
Put four bags in the cup this morning. Now I can taste the difference.
Ouch.
I need the caffeine unfortunately.
That’ll work.
