Darjeeling is a former British hill-station and spa located in one of the most spectacular settings of the entire Himalaya.

Considered the Champagne of Tea, Darjeeling tea is beloved worldwide for its clarity, Muscatel-like aroma and clear, smooth flavor. Developed using 100% China bush, blended China and Assam bush, or using clonal, modern varietals, Darjeeling teas vary considerably from Garden to Garden, much the way that Burgundy wines vary from vineyard to vineyard.

When the ‘lots’ of Darjeeling tea are released everyone in the tea trade gets excited and can’t wait to taste the new offerings. It is easy to just buy a lot of tea and offer a large selection (usually too many choices).
So here at Tea Trekker we put our experienced palates to task and try to limit our offering to 6 - 10 well-chosen lots. Tea Trekker’s Darjeeling selection is a mix of both First and Second Flushes and we also try to have at least one choice from the Autumnal pluck, which is often some of the best, most easy-drinking tea from this famous region.
