About Darjeeling Heritage Loose Leaf

The verdant, mountainous backdrop of the town of Darjeeling hints at the highland provenance of this most inspiring Indian tea. Darjeeling is a floral classic celebrated in its Himalayan homeland and much further afield. Noted for subtle hints of muscatel and the silvery appearance of its leaves, Darjeeling evokes the glamorous Afternoon Tea experience.

Every blend in the Heritage Collection honours the origins of the world’s finest tea.

Terroir & Production

Darjeeling’s highland gardens rise between 600 and 2,000 metres, where cool air, mineral-rich soil and steep terrain slow leaf growth, heightening aroma and flavour. During the second flush in May and June, the tender leaves are carefully handpicked and only partially oxidised, a distinctive process that preserves their golden tips and muscatel fragrance.
