Darjeeling Limited

From the rolling green hills of the Himalayas in West Bengal India, Darjeeling is a premium and delicate tea blend. Harvested in the spring, the tea plants awaken from their winter slumber to produce the highly anticipated first flush harvest, the “Champagne of tea.” The flavor is light, smooth, and very satisfying. With all the health benefits of green tea, Darjeeling Green is a flavorful addition to the tea connoisseur’s chest.

The harvesting technique behind Darjeeling Green Tea is quite unique. After handpicking the tea leaves, the leaves are left outside to air dry. Then they are left to wither for 24 hours to let excess water evaporate, making the leaves completely dry. Next, they are pan fried and steamed, in order to prevent the oxidization process and neutralize the enzymes. After steaming, the leaves are all set for the rolling process in differing tightness. This method of preparation helps the leaves retain its green color
