Darjeeling

This Darjeeling is from Happy Valley Estate, only 2 miles from the town of Darjeeling. Some are surprised when they taste Darjeeling tea, because they don’t believe it’s a black tea. The flavor is lightly musky-sweet and muscatel. The word Darjeeling originates from two Tibetan words: “Dorje” in reference to the mythological staff of the Hindu god Indra, and “ling” for “area” or “spot.” Thus making Darjeeling: “The place where there is a thunderbolt.”
