Description
Black tea from the Darjeeling region of India. Spring-time Darjeeling tea is famous for its lively 'bite' and an abundance of fresh flavor. This tea is a spirited embodiment of these qualities. Our 'Darjeeling Rhapsody no. 1' is a highly aromatic first-flush (spring) clonal tea from the upper reaches (7000 feet above sea level) of the award-winning, certified organic Sungma estate.
Story
Darjeeling is a town situated along the slopes of the beautiful Himalayas, 7,000 feet above sea level. It, and the tea plantations that stretch around it, are often enveloped in mist. This unique climate, and the region's loamy soil, combine to produce arguably the most prized tea in the world. But there's a downside to this fame: each year more tea is sold under the name of Darjeeling than can possibly be produced. Most of the imposters hail from the nearly Nepal, which shares some of Darjeeling's characteristics but rarely measure up to the original.
"This light darjeeling has a great flavor at anytime of the day. I would definitely buy this one again."
"I love the darjeeling teas, and this one is good, but unfortonately, the darjeeling #2 and #22 edge this one out. "
"Very good greener darjeeling, tastes more like an oolong than a black tea."
"I am hooked on darjeeling. Up until now I was an Earl Grey girl. The flavor stands out."
"A good, standard darjeeling. Easy to drink every day or when I need some caffine."
"I did not enjoy this one, although this was my first experience with a first flush darjeeling, so perhaps I just do not care for the first flush
The color is very light. It brews to a color similar to white teas."
