Darjeeling
Delicate, floral, and elegantly smooth—Darjeeling is often called the champagne of teas, and for good reason. This is a caffeinated black tea grown in the misty foothills of the Himalayas, offering a light body, gentle astringency, and a subtle natural sweetness. With its bright aroma and refined flavor, every cup feels like a special occasion.
Why do we love this tea? Darjeeling stands apart from bolder black teas with its uniquely delicate character and soft, muscatel notes. It’s the perfect tea for slow mornings or afternoon sipping—light enough to enjoy without milk, and flavorful enough to savor on its own. There’s something unmistakably elegant about it, making each cup feel like a moment of calm and quiet luxury.
Did you know? Darjeeling tea is grown in a small region of northern India, and authentic Darjeeling is protected by a geographic designation—just like champagne! The unique climate and high elevation give the tea its signature flavor, which can’t be replicated anywhere else in the world.
Enjoy it Hot or Iced!
The quality of water used has an impact on the quality of the tea. Always use freshly drawn water or filtered water.
Heat fresh water to a rolling boil or to a temperature of 212F using an electric hot water heater or a stove top kettle.
Once the water reaches the appropriate temperature, it should be poured immediately over the tea bag. Keep the teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 7-10 minutes. When the tea is done steeping, immediately remove the tea and lightly stir.
This black tea has more caffeine than teas in our green tea range. It's important to keep in mind that brew time accounts for the primary influence over a tea's caffeine content.
