Darjeeling Himalayan Tea Blend

Try our Darjeeling Himalayan Tea Blend, a true masterpiece from the famous Darjeeling region, known globally for its teas. This blend is made from leaves plucked during the second flush season, the best time to get the best teas.

How is Tea Blended in Darjeeling?

Blending Darjeeling Tea is an art that requires expertise, precision and deep understanding of the leaves. Nestled in the Himalayas, Darjeeling has a unique combination of climate, high altitude and rich soil, which gives its teas their distinct flavours and aromas.

After plucking during peak harvest seasons, the tea leaves undergo a series of processes – withering, rolling, oxidation and drying – that develop their complex profiles.

Blending in Darjeeling often involves combining leaves from different tea estates or flush periods to get the perfect balance of taste, aroma and texture. Skilled tea blenders evaluate each batch to ensure the final product meets the highest standards of quality and consistency.

This process ensures every cup of Darjeeling tea is an elegant experience for tea lovers around the world.

Darjeeling Himalayan Tea Blend Brewing Guide

To get the best out of the Darjeeling Himalayan Tea Blend, follow this step by step guide:

1. Measure the Tea – Use one teaspoon (3 to 5g) of Darjeeling tea leaves for 8oz (240ml) of water. Adjust to taste.
2. Boil Fresh Water – Start with cold water and bring to a simmer. For the Darjeeling Himalayan Tea Blend, the ideal water temperature is 195°F (90°C) to 205°F (96°C). Don’t use boiling water, as it will scorch the tea leaves and affect the flavour.
3. Steep the Leaves – Put the tea leaves in a teapot or cup with a tea infuser. Pour the hot water over the leaves and steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Shorter steeping times give a lighter flavour, longer steeping gives more richness and depth. Don’t over steep, as it will become bitter.
4. Strain and Serve – Once steeped to your liking, strain the tea into a cup. For the purest experience, drink without milk or sugar to get the full flavour, but you can add a bit of honey or a slice of lemon if you like.
5. Enjoy – Drink slowly and savour the layers of flavour—floral, musky and slightly sweet—that make this blend so special.

Follow these steps, and you’ll enjoy a perfect cup every time with Darjeeling Himalayan Tea Blend.
