Darjeeling Tea

Purchase Organic Darjeeling Tea from Etsy

Darjeeling Tea is a tea from the Darjeeling district in West Bengal, India, high in the Himalayas.  It was introduced there by English Colonialists with seeds from a small leaved Chinese variety of Camellia Sinesis differing from most other teas in India which are from the larger leafed Assam variety.  Darjeeling Tea cannot be grown or manufactured anywhere else in the world, similar to Champagne in that region of France.  The Darjeeling Tea we sell at The Robin's Nest is a true, unblended first flush Darjeeling Tea from fresh, green, subtle leaves.  The tea is organic and fair trade certified and it contains caffeine.  Darjeeling is one of the most sought after teas for its astringent qualities and its ability to indulge the taste buds.  When brewed properly it has a thin-bodied, light-colored infusion with a floral aroma.  It has a wonderfully grounding aftertaste, and is complex in characteristics.
