Darjeeling: the champagne among teas!
Darjeeling tea is the only tea in the world that has been granted protection under the Geographical Indication (GI) trademark.
To be called Darjeeling, a tea must originate from plantations in the well-defined Darjeeling district of West Bengal, India. Just as champagne comes exclusively from well-defined vineyards and villages. Moreover, like champagne, Darjeeling is the cream of the crop in terms of quality.
Darjeeling is therefore without doubt one of the leading tea regions in the world.
The deep, complex flavor of second flush Darjeeling, thanks to the sunshine, is very pleasing to the palate.
The flavor of Darjeeling tea is highly dependent on the time of harvest. This second flush Darjeeling tea is harvested in June. Leaves picked during this second harvest in June yield an amber-colored, full cup.
As the intensity of the sun increases during the summer in the Himalayan highlands, so does the flavor of this black tea. Second flush darjeeling is therefore known as one of the most complex black teas the world produces.
