{"id":429,"count":1,"description":"<h2>Tea from the Himalayan foothills<\/h2>\r\n<strong>Darjeeling Tea<\/strong> 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.\r\n\r\nDepending 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.\r\n<h2>Buy Darjeeling Tea online<\/h2>\r\nIf you want to buy Darjeeling Tea online, you will find selected varieties from this well-known region. Many product pages also include information about origin, flavour and preparation.\r\n\r\nThis category is ideal if you enjoy black tea with a lighter body, a fine aroma and a delicate character.\r\n\r\n<!--category-split-->\r\n<h2>What makes this origin special?<\/h2>\r\nDarjeeling is a protected geographical indication. Only tea produced in this region may be sold under this name.\r\n\r\nAlthough most varieties belong to the black tea category, they often have a lighter appearance and a finer profile than stronger black teas.\r\n<h2>First Flush and Second Flush<\/h2>\r\n<strong>First Flush<\/strong> teas are harvested in spring. They are known for their fresh, floral and lively character.\r\n\r\n<strong>Second Flush<\/strong> teas are picked later in the season. They are often fuller-bodied and may show the well-known muscatel flavour.\r\n<h2>How to prepare it<\/h2>\r\nMost varieties are prepared with water at around 90\u201395 \u00b0C and steeped for 2\u20134 minutes. However, the ideal brewing time depends on the individual tea. Always check the recommendation on the product page.\r\n\r\nFor a lighter cup, reduce the amount of tea or shorten the steeping time slightly.\r\n<h2>Discover more black teas<\/h2>\r\n\r\nIf you would like to explore other varieties alongside Darjeeling, discover a selection of Assam, Earl Grey and other blends in our <a href=\"https:\/\/teasense.ch\/en\/product-category\/loose-leaf-tea\/black-tea\/\">black tea<\/a> category.","link":"https:\/\/teasense.ch\/en\/product-category\/loose-leaf-tea\/black-tea\/darjeeling\/","name":"Darjeeling","slug":"darjeeling","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":353,"meta":[],"menu_order":10,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
