Our Darjeeling is a distinguished brew for discerning tea lovers. Delicate yet complex, floral yet fruity, it takes your taste buds on a journey of discovery. Nestled in India’s Mahabharata Mountain Range (aka the ‘lesser Himalayas’), Darjeeling is a very special tea region. At an altitude of around 2,000 metres (m), the hilly tea gardens here only produce teas in certain seasons. Each season gives its own character to the teas.
Our Tea Masters use first flush teas from the spring harvest. This is when the young leaves offer their freshest and most floral character. They blend these with teas from the summer harvest. By this point the leaves are more mature, giving the brew its richer, fruitier notes, which are often said to resemble Muscat grapes.
Bright and golden in the cup, our Darjeeling has a refreshingly brisk taste with a fine balance of flavours. The tea is lovely at any time of the day, and we love it in the afternoons, served without milk to reveal all of the tea’s fragrances and crisp finish. Our loose leaf Darjeeling brings you a more refined brewing experience than our teabags.
