Darjeeling

Darjeeling tea has often been called the “champagne of tea,” and has traditionally been prized in the United Kingdom above all other black teas. Darjeeling tea is grown only in the Darjeeling region of West Bengal, India. It has traditionally been made only into black teas, but in recent years more Darjeeling oolongs and Darjeeling whites have been entering the market. Even traditional Darjeeling black tea is usually oxidized less than most other black teas, giving it a taste and body more similar to traditional oolong.
