A type of black tea grown in the Darjeeling region of India, known for its delicate flavor and floral notes.
From the place name Darjeeling, a town in the Himalayan foothills of West Bengal, India. The word comes from Hindi 'Dorje' (diamond) + 'ling' (place) — meaning 'place of the diamond.' Tea plantations were established there in the 1800s during British colonization.
Darjeeling tea is so prized that it's called the 'Champagne of teas' — there's even strict rules about what can be labeled Darjeeling, just like champagne has to come from Champagne, France! A single cup can cost more than a whole box of regular tea bags.
