We take pleasure in providing darjeeling tea variety that is classified as a type of black tea. But, the modern darjeeling style employs a hard wither (35-40% remaining leaf weight after withering), which in turn causes an incomplete oxidation for many of the best teas of this designation, which technically makes them a form of oolong. The darjeeling teas range appears to be a blend of teas oxidized to levels of green, oolong, and black.
