Darjeeling, the "Champagne of Tea"

The Region of Darjeeling

Darjeeling tea is grown on the southern slopes of the Himalayan Mountains in the region of Darjeeling in India.  It is cultivated at extreme altitudes, on steep slopes, under intensive sunshine in a generally cool climate. 

Darjeeling tea has a distinct and unique flavor.  Its annual harvest is limited, and its taste and aroma cannot be replicated anywhere else.  Because it is so special, it is much sought after by tea connoisseurs.   

Darjeeling is often called the “champagne of tea.”  Like champagne, it is a luxury product, and usually sold at extremely high prices.
