Darjeeling Tea
(Latin Name: Camellia sinensis)
Size: 8oz bag
Brief History & Origin
Darjeeling Tea is known as the "Champagne of Teas," grown in the misty foothills of the Indian Himalayas. Unlike other black teas, Darjeeling carries a delicate, floral aroma—often compared to muscatel grapes, wildflowers, and mountain air.
In the 1800s, British colonists introduced tea cultivation to Darjeeling, but the land itself holds the deeper wisdom. The indigenous Lepcha and Bhutia peoples honored these mountains as sacred, and their spirit lingers in every cup. Darjeeling is not just a tea—it is a ritual of refinement, a pause to savor the subtle, and a way to commune with the quiet strength of the earth.
