Lore

Darjeeling tea is often called the champagne of teas, and with good reason. Grown and cultivated primarily using "orthodox" methods - methods which require more hands - on work and attention than mechanical means, the primary focus is on quality over quantity, with specific attention being paid to everything from which parts of the tea plants are plucked when, how they are handled, sorting, and even the chemistry within the leaves themselves. Like wine, each year has a distinctive flavor, and in a final comparison, to bear the official "Darjeeling tea" name, the tea can only come from the Darjeeling region of India.
