What are Darjeeling Tea Bags?

Darjeeling Tea Bags are black tea grown on the Himalayan slopes of the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, India, in 25 tea bags. It is often called "the Champagne of teas."

About Darjeeling

Grown at high elevation in a small, prized region, Darjeeling is known for its light body and distinctive aromatic character, and it's one of the most celebrated single-origin black teas. It's lighter than a breakfast blend, so it's usually drunk without milk.

How to brew Darjeeling Tea Bags

Use one tea bag per cup. Pour hot water over the bag and steep to taste, then lift the bag out. See the brewing chart below for the water temperature and steep time we suggest for this style. Each pouch holds 25 tea bags (net wt 2 oz (57 g)), and the bags are unbleached paper with no staples, strings, or tags.
