Delicate Dreams of Darjeeling 100g

Darjeeling Black Tea

Darjeeling black tea is not your regular breakfast tea, although you can drink it in the morning as well. Darjeeling tea is not to be drunk in a rush, but to be enjoyed slowly, with every steep and sip, discovering hidden layers of its exquisite leaf. This tea has a beautiful flavour profile, elegance and personality. Take your time to enjoy all the hidden layers and discover why is it called the champagne of Indian black teas. Light yet very expressive flowery notes with sweet ripe fruit taste, and just the right touch of faint astringency to round-up the sweetness in a brew that is hand-crafted for pure enjoyment.
This rare black tea has been made from tea leaves grown in Pasabong village near Kalimpong at an altitude of 2000 meters without using any chemical fertilizers or pesticides for several decades. Leaves have been processed by the small farmers in the same village in micro-tea processing units, but with great passion and love.
