Heritage of the Himalayan Tea Gardens
Darjeeling tea's legacy began in the 1850s when the first tea gardens were established in the region. This area's unique geography, with elevations reaching 2000 meters and specific climatic conditions, creates the perfect environment for producing this exceptional tea. Known as the "Champagne of Teas," Darjeeling gained its reputation through generations of expertise in cultivation and processing. The timing of the harvest is crucial - first flush leaves are picked in early spring as the weather warms, while second flush occurs in summer, each contributing distinct characteristics to this masterful blend.
