Description
Black tea from the Darjeeling region of India. Darjeeling tea is treasured for the rich golden liquor and unique muscatel flavor. This tea scores high on both counts. Our 'Darjeeling Rhapsody no. 22' is a superb second-flush (summer) tea from the highly regarded Risheehat estate. An excellent introduction to this wonderful variety.
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.
"Beautiful taste, smooth and delicious, and smells very good. I knew I'd be ordering a larger tin from the first taste."
"I liked it. A nice tea that really woke me up in the morning"
"I really prefer the darjeeling #2 but this one is almost as good. It is very tasty when iced!"
"very nice. Mellow and smooth but solid. I like this in the morning."
"This tastes like basic black tea to me. Better tasting than some black teas, but it didn't strike me as anything special. Maybe I'm just not attuned to the finer nuances of black tea - it all pretty much tastes the same to me."
"Wonderful smell, rich, smooth and slightly fruity taste. Loved it!"
