India - Darjeeling

These exclusive teas emanate from estates situated around the town of Darjeeling, nestling in the foothills of the snow-covered Himalayan range. Estates which qualify as ‘Darjeeling’ are situated at an altitude of over 5000 ft above sea level.

Here, the winds gusting down from the mighty Kanchunjunga, the soil, the rainfall and the steep slopes all combine to give Darjeeling its unique "Muscatel" flavor and exquisite bouquet. Producing an excellent, though mild cup, these teas may be enjoyed at any time of the day.
