Darjeeling grows in the picturesque high altitudes of the Indian Himalayan region. The local climatic conditions, coupled with the unique composition of the soil, give it its unmistakable aroma. Darjeeling tea is not only a pleasure to drink, but also an expression of traditional tea culture that is deeply rooted in the history of the region. We offer a classic first flush Darjeeling with a golden-brown cup and a delicately tart, aromatic taste. More precisely: a "FTGFOP1 First Flush", which stands for "Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe". Fine Tippy means that the tea leaves contain many fine, golden tips, Golden Flowery indicates that the tea leaves are golden in color and show floral flavors, Orange Pekoe is a designation for the unbroken leaves that come from the upper bud and the first two leaves of the tea plant. The 1 indicates that this is the first quality within this classification. First Flush refers to the first harvest period (from the beginning of March to mid-April), which produces particularly fine, high-quality tea. What is also remarkable about this Darjeeling is that the leaves come from controlled organic cultivation.

For our own-brand teas, we have teamed up with a partner in Schleswig-Holstein who has been in the tea business since 1967 and has many years of experience in the trade. This importer and bottler approaches the selection of suitable teas with high taste standards - starting in the respective country of origin. The focus there is on a cultivation concept that is as holistic as possible. In addition, the harvests are regularly checked to ensure the quality of the raw materials. Modern bottling techniques ensure that every tea remains fresh and aromatic. You will notice this in the characterful taste, whether you enjoy your tea in a relaxing moment, at classic teatime or as an accompaniment to a meal. We offer our teas in pyramid-shaped bags, which makes them easy to prepare and gives the tea leaves enough space to develop their aroma.
