Black Tea: Darjeeling Black Tea

Darjeeling is one of the most well-known and highly-regarded varieties of black tea. Darjeeling tea is made in the Darjeeling district of India. Darjeeling black tea is often categorized by "flush"--the time of year at which the tea leaves are harvested.

Darjeeling black tea is extremely diverse and difficult to describe in generality. Unlike most black teas, Darjeeling teas often have a substantial portion of greener (less oxidized) leaves mixed in, which gives the dry leaves a diversity of colors. Brewed Darjeeling tea has a wide range of color, but tends to be a rich amber color, lighter in hue than most other black teas. Some Darjeelings, especially the highly-desired first flush teas, are less oxidized and are more like oolongs than black tea, although these teas are distinct from proper Darjeeling oolongs.

Other regions of India, such as Sikkim, and nearby regions outside of India, such as Nepal, produce teas in a similar style to Darjeeling tea. Teas from these regions are not referred to as Darjeeling, but are often categorized by the same system of flushes. These areas together form the Himalayan region of tea production.
