Darjeeling tea is a premium tea produced in the highlands of the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, a state in the Eastern Province of India.

Of all teas grown in India, Darjeeling tea distinguishes itself in terms of quality and flavor, and for more than a century has enjoyed a worldwide reputation.

In general, there are two factors that contributed to the exceptional and distinctive flavor of Darjeeling tea, namely:

• Geographical origin
• processing.

The tea gardens are located at an altitude of over 2000 meters above sea level.

Although the tea growing lands of India have been almost synonymous with the most popular lower quality teabag brands , which has eestablised themselves in both the top and bottom of the tea beverage market, there is far more to Indian tea than low quality dust tea.

Darjeeling tea only began to sprout from the Himalayan soils of West Bengal, India in the second half of the 19th century, when a seed trader returned to the region after a trip to China. Since then, this exclusive type of black tea deriving from a particular variety of Camellia Sinensis – a plant known for producing most black, green, white and oolong teas – has been grown in the region.

Only a few tea gardens in the Darjeeling hills of India can call their product by name, Darjeeling tea varies greatly in flavor depending on a handful of factors.

Darjeeling tea has five distinct harvests per year, with each season bringing its own flavor profile and body. While Darjeeling is typically classified as black tea, there are also green, white, and oolong interpretations of it.
