What Makes Darjeeling So Unique?

Darjeeling tea grows in India, although its leaves are Chinese. It’s got sweet notes of grapes with the chilling Himalayan mountain air. It tastes more like wine than tea. Even if you’re not a tea connoisseur, a good cup of Darjeeling will make you one. Aptly named as the “champagne of teas” with its notes of sweet musky wine and citrus flavors, Darjeeling tea will expand your drinking palette.

The same Darjeeling tea from the same garden will exhibit different aromas, textures, and taste profiles depending on the time of the year. There are three main harvests in a year called flushes. The first, second, and third harvests range from delicate and light variants to full-bodied and robust ones. It all depends on exposure to the sun and relative oxidation levels.

How you respond to each flush depends entirely on you. Some individuals may prefer the highly prized first flush, which uses the youngest leaves that make one feel optimistic, while others may prefer the dark and coppery texture of the full-bodied third flush leaves.

Why Is Darjeeling Special?

The non-tea drinker may wonder what the big deal about the Darjeeling is. It’s just tea after all right? Well, it gets more complicated. Discovering Darjeeling and exploring its wide taste profile and fragrance is like learning about gin if you’ve only heard of whiskey and vodka.

Darjeeling tea is a game-changer in the context of tea and it’s ironic that some people don’t pay attention to it.

How you explore Darjeeling tea is entirely up to you. You have to carve out your own unique journey and find out for yourself what those first sips of first flush, second flush, and third flush can offer. There’s a lot of potentials to explore here.

After all, you are unique and so is your Darjeeling!
