Darjeeling Tea originates from the Darjeeling district in eastern India, nestled at the foothills of the Himalayas. The region has a long history of tea cultivation dating back to the early 1800s when the British introduced tea plants to the area. Darjeeling tea is renowned for its unique flavor profile, which is influenced by the region's highland subtropical climate and elevation (around 6,000 feet above sea level). First Flush teas are harvested during the first spring growth, typically in late March to early April. This period is crucial as it produces the lightest and most delicate teas of the year, often described as having floral and fruity notes. Organic and Biodynamic Practices: Many Darjeeling estates, such as Makaibari, have adopted organic and biodynamic farming practices. These methods emphasize sustainable farming, integrated forest management, and permaculture, which not only benefit the environment but also contribute to the well-being of the local community. Estates like Makaibari have been certified Fair Trade, using premiums to support education, health, and other community initiatives.
