Indulge in the Distinct Flavor of Darjeeling Tea
Darjeeling Tea (Camellia sinensis), cultivated in the Darjeeling or Kalimpong Districts in West Bengal, India, is a distinct and popular black tea. It's renowned for its full body and unique flavor, making it a treasured choice among tea aficionados. Darjeeling Tea is often referred to as the "champagne of teas" for its exquisite quality and complexity of flavors. It's ideal for those who appreciate a refined and sophisticated tea experience.
Unlike typical green or black teas, it boasts a unique muscatel flavor with floral, fruity undertones and a delicate astringency. This tea's rarity lies in its specific harvesting region and the meticulous processing that offers a lighter brew, setting it apart from the more robust profiles of standard green or black teas.
