Darjeeling Tea is one of the world’s most celebrated teas, grown in the picturesque Himalayan foothills of Darjeeling, West Bengal, India. Often known as the “Champagne of Teas,” it is treasured for its distinctive aroma, delicate character, floral notes and complex flavours.

The unique combination of high altitude, cool mountain climate, fertile soil, misty weather and traditional tea-making techniques gives Darjeeling tea its exceptional identity. Tea produced in different gardens and at different times of the year can offer remarkably different aromas and flavours.

Darjeeling tea is traditionally produced in several flushes, with the First Flush known for its fresh, lively and floral character, while the Second Flush is particularly sought after for its fuller body and distinctive muscatel flavour. Later flushes offer their own unique characteristics.

The finest Darjeeling teas are often produced as single-estate teas, allowing the unique terroir and character of each tea garden to shine through. Careful plucking, skilled craftsmanship and precise processing are essential to preserving the delicate qualities of these exceptional teas.
