High in the mountains, deep in the mists that surround the Himalayas is Darjeeling: “Queen of Teas”. Our Darjeeling tea is a blend of First Flush and Autumnal teas from the best gardens. This mixture yields a light color in the cup - a fragrant “nose”. A great value.
Darjeeling is has developed a good reputaion among tea drinkers for over 150 years, so we wanted something that would respect that tradition; a blend that combined many esteemed qualities but that was still reasonably priced. We offer better Darjeelings from the best esates of the Darjeeling region, but those teas can get quite expensive.
