Description
Black tea from the Darjeeling region of India. If you enjoy Darjeeling tea, you are sure to appreciate this 'wonder.' Our 'Darjeeling Rhapsody no. 2' is a second-flush (summer) hand-made 'wonder' tea from the upper reaches (7000 feet above sea level) of the Gopaldhara estate. It is a gorgeous-looking clonal tea with a sublime taste to match.
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.
"Ordered it for my mother for her birthday, and she is loving it. Her first experience with Adagio tea."
"I absolutely love darjeeling teas, and this by far is my favorite. I will definitely be ordering more"
"Made it onto my rebuy list. Medium to full body (for a black) depending on steep with a slightly sweet flavor."
"This was my firsdt darjeeling. It's growing on me, but it's not my favoite black. If I were to buy again, I'd probably try the cheaper #22.
Careful no to overseep!"
"An excellent Darjeeling, with the trademark muscatel notes in addition to touches of cinnamon and chocolate."
"This is by far the best black I have tried from Adagio. It is a strong tea, full of flavor and perfect for that first pot in the morning"
