Darjeeling Tea

Darjeeling Tea – 1 oz.
Often called the “Champagne of Teas,” Darjeeling is celebrated for its delicate flavor, floral aroma, and light body. Grown in the misty Himalayan foothills of India, this premium black tea delivers a refined, refreshing cup that can be enjoyed any time of day.

Pure Darjeeling black tea leaves (Camellia sinensis).

Caffeine Level:
Medium.

Preparation:

• Use 1 tsp per 8 oz. of hot water

• Steep 3–4 minutes at 190–200°F

• Best enjoyed plain, or lightly sweetened to highlight its natural character

Serving Suggestions:

• Sip hot in the morning or afternoon for a smooth pick-me-up

• Chill and serve over ice with lemon for a refined iced tea

• Pair with light pastries, tea sandwiches, or fruit-based desserts

Benefits:
Darjeeling tea is rich in antioxidants that may support heart health, metabolism, and overall wellness. Its moderate caffeine content offers a gentle energy boost without being overpowering.

Fun Fact:
True Darjeeling tea can only come from the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, India—making it one of the few teas in the world with a protected geographical status, much like Champagne in France.
