Darjeeling tea, grown in West Bengal, India, is the world's most expensive and exotic
tea.  Its flavor is so unique, itcannot be duplicated in any other growing region.  

Darjeeling tea brews a thin-bodied, light-colored liquor with a floral aroma with a
tinge of astringent tannic characteristics and a musky spiciness often referred to
by tea connoisseurs as "muscatel."

The tea is grown at an elevation of 750 - 2000 meters in century old tea estates.
It can take up to ten years before the leaves are ready to be plucked.

Many teas are fraudulently labeled as "Darjeeling," but ours is cultivated, grown, produced, manufactured and
processed in tea gardens in the hilly areas of Sadar Sub-Division and certified by the Indian Tea Board.
Flavors of Darjeeling Tea:
The flavors of Darjeeling Tea differ depending on the season.  
  1. First or Easter Flush ( March - April) is just after the dormant
    Winter months. The leaves are tender and very light green
    in appearance. The liquor too is light, clear, bright and
    imparts a pleasant brisk flavor.
  2. Second or Spring Flush ( May - June) is famed for its
    prominent quality. The leaf has a purplish bloom. The liquor
    is more round, mellow and with more color (amber) and has
    a slightly fruity flavour. It is during this period that the
    famous “Muscatel” flavor becomes pronounced.
  3. Summer Flush ( July - September) has a stronger liquor but
    retains the brightness and character that Darjeeling is known
    for.
  4. Autumn Flush ( October - November) provides tea with a
    light coppery tinge and delicate character liquors.
