Darjeeling is located in the northeast of India, among the Himalayas in the state of West Bengal. First cultivated in the 1800s, Darjeeling tea is one of the highest-quality teas in the world famous for its unique flavour. Perfect climate, rich soil, high altitude, and careful original processing give this tea an unforgettable aroma and taste. Darjeeling has about 165 tea plantations and 87 registered tea gardens.

ORGANOLEPTICS
Beautiful loose-leaf tea consisting of leaves of different colours. There are dark green and brown and almost black-violet tones. The beautiful combination reminds autumn leaves. The tea is predominantly made from leaves, with a small amount of young buds. Dry tea leaves have a pleasant floral-fruity aroma. That one has plum, grape, and honey tones. A heated teapot only enhances these notes, developing the aroma of fruits and honey.

The taste is sweet, soft, and deep. This tea is famous for its honey, vinous notes, woody character, and smooth floral aftertaste. This tea is traditionally brewed by a long infusion, without fear of making the tea astringent and bitter. The tea surprisingly reveals itself in all its glory, ready to compete with the oriental classics both in terms of richness of taste and depth of impact. Clean, deep, cognac-colored infusion.

After brewing, washed tea leaves have a delicate, sweet plum, grape aroma.
