The blend
Grown in the Darjeeling region of North East India, in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains, this tea is one of the finest available. Darjeeling tea will produce a bright amber colour once brewed.
The taste
Often described as the ‘Champagne of teas’, Darjeeling is lighter than most black teas, with a distinctive fruity, muscatel character.
The benefit
Black tea contains polyphenols, a type of antioxidant. Caffeine and an amino acid called L-theanine are also found in black tea, which is said can improve alertness and focus – even more than coffee!
The moment
Enjoy this tea when you want to impress guests or add a bit of glamour into your afternoon! This tea is the most exquisite of blends.

How to brew:
Tea: 1 teabag | Water temp: 100°C | Brewing Time: 3-5 minutes.
Method:
Begin by bringing filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil to unlock the full potential of this fruity, sweet-noted herbal tea. Use one teabag for every 200–260ml of water into your cup or teapot. Pour the boiling water over the bag, cover, and allow to infuse for an optimum time of 3 to 5 minutes. While the tea can be steeped for up to 7 minutes for a stronger taste, we recommend adding an extra bag rather than the steeping time to avoid bitterness.
Goes well with:
Sugar, milk or lemon.
Pro tip:
To truly enjoy the delicate, fruity notes of Darjeeling, it’s best served "neat" (without milk) or with just a thin slice of lemon. It’s an ideal choice for when you want to impress guests or simply treat yourself to a moment of luxury during a busy day!
