TOUCHING THE SKY

THE TEA GARDENS 

 

The exquisite qualities of Darjeeling Tea manifest themselves distinctively during the growing season from March to November.
After a period of dormancy in the winter months, in March and April the bushes offer delicate new shoots, which provide a grey-green glazed leaf appearance, a light clear liquor, with fresh bright and lively character and a pleasant hint of mild astringency to the palate.
The infused leaf has a prominent lime greenish brightness and a floral scent. These are the ‘Spring’ teas.

Darjeeling tea cannot be grown or manufactured anywhere else in the world, similar to Champagne in that region of France.
