ORGANIC DARJEELING TEA, black

Authentic tea cultivated and processed in the West Bengal area of India is the Darjeeling Black Tea. Officially defined by the Tea Board of India, genuine Darjeeling tea can only originate from this specific region. This variety is often marketed as black tea, yet it typically features incomplete oxidation (less than 90%), making it technically closer to an Oolong. The production involves withering, tumbling, rolling, and heat drying to achieve its unique flavour profile, resulting in a highly sought-after and geographically protected product.

Harvested during the Autumnal flush, this tea offers a distinctive body and colour. The Autumnal flush occurs after the rainy season and is believed to yield a fuller body and darker colour, with a less delicate flavour and reduced spicy tones. OM Foods offers this balanced, lively tea that features a pleasant, nutty aroma. As a true tea, it naturally contains caffeine. This Darjeeling provides an exceptional, complex cup for the discerning tea drinker.
