Description
Organic 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 'Spring Darjeeling' is a highly aromatic first-flush (spring) clonal tea from the upper reaches (7000 feet above sea level) of the organically-certified 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 nearby Nepal, which shares some of Darjeeling's characteristics but rarely measure up to the original.
"I enjoyed the distinct flavors and the light floral component. I liked the first flush aspect which meant it had a more gentle taste and aroma since it came in just following the spring rains. I could see it as a good breakfast tea maybe paired with some english muffins akin to the British. If you like darjeelings a lot then I would recommend this tea. http://bit.ly/3lGJMS"
"This isn't my favorite darjeeling (oooh darjeeling is that) but it is a 'good' cup of tea. Not too many floral notes. Brews very light, almost green. Makes a very good iced tea.

"I ordered the sample size and it's become a new favorite of mine. I ordered the 3oz. size a few minutes ago."
"Great tea, tastes delicious and lighter than most black teas"
"A nice darjeeling. I really like the flavor of this."
"Spring Darjeeling is like a big tea punch to the earlobe. It tastes fresh like funky springtime."
