Black Tea
True connoisseurs of tea appreciate the timeless
elegance of Darjeeling Black Tea, sourced from
the renowned Darjeeling region in India. The
leaves, harvested from the Camellia Sinensis
plant, undergo full oxidation, giving the tea its
distinctive dark color and rich flavor. Nestled
in the foothills of the Himalayas, Darjeelings
unique climate and soil impart a special
character to its tea. Often referred to as the
champagne of teas, Darjeeling whole leaf black
tea offers a delicate taste profile, with notes
that can range from fruity and floral to musky.

Green Tea
Green tea, which originated in China over 4,000
years ago, was initially used for medicinal
purposes before becoming a popular beverage.
Legend has it that Emperor Shen Nong discovered
green tea in 2737 BCE when leaves accidentally
fell into a cup of boiling water. Today, green
tea is celebrated worldwide for its refreshing
taste and numerous health benefits. Below are
some of the unique features of green tea.

White Tea
Darjeeling White Tea, often referred to as the
Champagne of Teas, is renowned for its delicate
taste. Grown in the Darjeeling region of India,
this tea is harvested from the young, tender buds
and top leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant
during the first flush of the season. The
production process involves minimal processing,
including gentle withering and drying, which
helps preserve the teas natural taste and
flavor. The resulting tea leaves have a floral
aroma and are pale, golden in color. This tea
offers a sweet taste with subtle hints of fruit
and a delicate nutty undertone.
