Description
Light, aromatic and beautifully nuanced, this certified organic Darjeeling Black Leaf Tea captures the signature muscatel character that has made Darjeeling famous worldwide. Often called the “Champagne of Teas,” Darjeeling is prized for its delicate sweetness, subtle fruitiness and unmistakable Himalayan clarity, a profile distinctly different from the richer, maltier black teas of Assam or Sri Lanka.
Grown on high-altitude slopes in the cool, mist-filled Darjeeling region of West Bengal, this tea is handpicked during the renowned second flush, when the leaves reach peak maturity. The result is a tea with a deeper body, a gentle astringency and a rich amber liquor, offering layers of grape-like sweetness, soft floral lift and refined briskness. Hand packed in small batches at our gluten-free Sydney facility.
Smooth and sophisticated, it is the perfect all-day black tea, elegant enough for connoisseurs, yet comforting and familiar for daily enjoyment.
