Our Organic Darjeeling Supreme black tea from the Ambootia™ Estate brews up a sparkling amber color, is smooth and mellow with the distinctive muscat flavor that is characteristic of the world's best Darjeelings.

Darjeeling teas are considered the rarest and most prestigious of black teas. The taste of Darjeeling varies with the seasons. The first flush or springtime tea, is harvested from late February to mid-April. The young leaves yield a light tea with a flavor of green muscat.
