A very British Darjeeling first flush Tea... Delicious

Darjeeling Tea Darjeeling Tea, tea from the Darjeeling region in West Bengal, India, has traditionally been prized above all other Black Teas, especially in the United Kingdom and the countries comprising the former British Empire.

When properly brewed it yields a thin-bodied, light-colored liquor with a floral aroma.

The flavor also displays a tinge of astringent tannic characteristics, and a musky spiciness often referred to by tea connoisseurs as “muscatel.” A sweet cooling aftertaste should be felt in the mouth.
