Harney & Sons Darjeeling 20s Tin

20 sachets Black tea

High in the mountains, deep in the mists that surround the Himalayas is Darjeeling: Queen of Teas. Harney & Sons' Darjeeling tea is a blend of First Flush and Autumnal teas from the best gardens. This mixture yields a light color in the cup - a fragrant nose. A great value. Darjeeling is has developed a good reputation among tea drinkers for over 150 years, so we wanted something that would respect that tradition; a blend that combined many esteemed qualities but that was still reasonably priced. We offer better Darjeelings from the best estates of the Darjeeling region, but those teas can get quite expensive. This is a light, bright, and aromatic blend of first flush and autumnal teas from the Himalayan Highlands of Darjeeling.
