Darjeeling (India)

Darjeeling is considered the "Champagne of Tea"

It comes to us in flushes. The first, picked in spring, is recognized as the most unique in its delicate flavor, though it does vary from year to year.

The second flush, or the second picking, comes around early summer, is reveled for its exceptional taste and aroma. Each flush produces a tea distinctively different from all the others. The Autumnal is the final pick.
