Darjeeling

High in the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas, Darjeeling tea is cultivated on steep terraces surrounded by drifting mountain mist and cool alpine winds. The altitude – reaching up to 2,000 metres – slows the growth of the tea bushes and intensifies their delicate aromatic profile. The plants rest through the winter, storing their energy until the arrival of spring, when the first tender leaves are carefully hand-picked in what is known as the First Flush.

This early harvest is renowned for its purity, brightness and natural sweetness. The leaves capture the freshness of the season: floral, lively, and elegantly light — far more delicate than most black teas. Because of this uniqueness and the distinctive character imparted by the Himalayan terroir, Darjeeling has long been celebrated as the “Champagne of Tea.” Each sip reflects its origin: a landscape of high clouds, morning silence, and centuries of artisanal cultivation passed down through generations.

Darjeeling First Flush is a delicate and elegant tea, and for this reason it shines best when paired with light, refined flavours that mirror its floral and airy character.

Sweet pairings

The brightness of this tea harmonises beautifully with pastries that are soft and subtle in sweetness:

• vanilla shortbread or butter biscuits

• lemon drizzle cake or lemon madeleines

• soft sponge cakes with a light cream

These pairings highlight the tea’s spring-like notes and allow its floral nuances to remain the protagonist of the tasting.

Savoury pairings

For a savoury contrast, choose mild and fresh flavours that do not overshadow the cup:

• cucumber tea sandwiches with soft herbs • mild goat cheese on a thin crostino

• fresh ricotta with a drop of olive oil

The gentle savouriness lifts the aromatic profile of the tea without compromising its elegance.

Each box contains 100 g of tea, providing approximately 35-40 servings.

Shelf life: tea can be stored for up to two years in an airtight, opaque container in a cool, dry place, away from light, moisture, and strong odours to maintain their freshness and flavour.
