Champagne of Teas: Darjeeling



Quick: close your eyes, and picture the first thing you think of when I say "Indian tea."

Two guesses on what you see: sultry spiced chai tea or dark amber black tea, taken with milk and English biscuits.

These are both great things, and we make our fair share of them, but I don't think they're the most interesting tea to come out of India. For a brew that's at once delicate, assertive, and totally unique, you have to go with Darjeeling Tea.
