Darjeeling

High in the mountains, deep in the mists that surround the Himalayas is Darjeeling, a district in West Bengal, India. Unlike most Indian teas, Darjeeling (the Queen of Teas) is picked from the small leaved Chinese variety of Camellia sinensis rather than the large-leaved Assam varietal. This blend of first flush and Autumnal leaves from the best gardens yields a light color in the cup and a fragrant ?nose?.
