Darjeeling tea is a premium tea produced in the highlands of the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, a state in the Eastern Province of India.

Of all teas grown in India, Darjeeling tea distinguishes itself in terms of quality and flavor, and for more than a century has enjoyed a worldwide reputation.

In general, there are two factors that contributed to the exceptional and distinctive flavor of Darjeeling tea, namely:

• Geographical origin
• processing.

The tea gardens are located at an altitude of over 2000 meters above sea level.

Although the tea growing lands of India have been almost synonymous with the most popular lower quality teabag brands , which has eestablised themselves in both the top and bottom of the tea beverage market, there is far more to Indian tea than low quality dust tea.

Darjeeling tea only began to sprout from the Himalayan soils of West Bengal, India in the second half of the 19th century, when a seed trader returned to the region after a trip to China. Since then, this exclusive type of black tea deriving from a particular variety of Camellia Sinensis – a plant known for producing most black, green, white and oolong teas – has been grown in the region.

Only a few tea gardens in the Darjeeling hills of India can call their product by name, Darjeeling tea varies greatly in flavor depending on a handful of factors.

Darjeeling tea has five distinct harvests per year, with each season bringing its own flavor profile and body. While Darjeeling is typically classified as black tea, there are also green, white, and oolong interpretations of it.

History of Darjeeling Tea

The story of Darjeeling Tea started around 1850 when a Dr. Campbell, a civil surgeon, planted tea seeds in his garden at Beechwood, Darjeeling, 7000 ft above sea level as an experiment. He was reasonably successful in raising the plant because the government, in 1847, elected to put out tea nurseries in this area.

"According to records, the first commercial tea gardens planted out by the British tea interests were Tukvar, Steinthal and Aloobari tea estates. This was in 1852 and all these plantations used seeds that were raised in the government nurseries.

"Darjeeling was then only a sparsely populated hamlet which was being used as a hill resort by the army and some affluent people. Tea, being a labour intensive enterprise, required sufficient numbers of workers to plant, tend, pluck and finally manufacture the produce. For this, employment was offered to people from across the border of Nepal.

"It appears that in 1866, Darjeeling had 39 gardens producing a total crop of 21, 000 kilograms of tea. In 1870, the number of gardens increased to 56 to produce about 71, 000 kgs of tea harvested from 4, 400 hectares. During 1860-64, the Darjeeling Company was established with 4 gardens while the Darjeeling Consolidated Tea Co. dates back to 1896. By 1874, tea in Darjeeling was found to be a profitable venture and there were 113 gardens with approximately 6, 000 hectares."
