Darjeeling
Tea from the Himalayan foothills
Darjeeling Tea comes from the famous growing region in north-eastern India at the foot of the Himalayas. The altitude, cool climate and frequent mountain mist give these teas their distinctive character.
Depending on the harvest and the tea garden, the flavour can be light, floral, fresh, slightly brisk or delicately muscatel. This style is therefore often considered refined and elegant.

What makes this origin special?
Darjeeling is a protected geographical indication. Only tea produced in this region may be sold under this name.
Although most varieties belong to the black tea category, they often have a lighter appearance and a finer profile than stronger black teas.
First Flush and Second Flush
First Flush teas are harvested in spring. They are known for their fresh, floral and lively character.
Second Flush teas are picked later in the season. They are often fuller-bodied and may show the well-known muscatel flavour.
How to prepare it
Most varieties are prepared with water at around 90–95 °C and steeped for 2–4 minutes. However, the ideal brewing time depends on the individual tea. Always check the recommendation on the product page.
For a lighter cup, reduce the amount of tea or shorten the steeping time slightly.
