Exceptional Himalayan-Grown Tea

Grown at some of the highest elevations in the world, these loose leaf Darjeeling teas are highly regarded for their celebrated quality and expressions of terroir around the world. Where typical black teas are grown between 50-100 meters above sea level, and even higher elevation teas growing at upwards of 500 meters, Darjeeling stands proud as a high mountain tea from the Himalayas, growing at altitudes of nearly 1000 meters or more. This high elevation, combined with exquisite air and soil quality, makes for a uniquely refined, clean, and subtle tea flavor.

How to Brew Darjeeling Tea

Darjeeling is an incredibly special variety and is best enjoyed over multiple brews. We suggest adding 1 teaspoon of tea per 5 ounces of barely boiling water and steeping for 3 minutes. Repeat brews will benefit from a slightly longer brewing time to maintain the ideal strength and body of the tea.
