Darjeeling tea is a type of black tea that is grown in the Darjeeling district in West Bengal, India. It is a premium tea known for its unique aroma and flavor, which is often described as floral, fruity, and musky, with a slight astringency.

Darjeeling tea is grown at high altitudes of up to 2,000 meters above sea level, and it is often referred to as the "champagne of teas" due to its unique characteristics and high price point. It is typically harvested between mid-March and mid-November, with the first flush (harvest) considered the most prized.

The tea is processed using a method similar to that used for other black teas, but with some unique variations. Darjeeling tea is usually made by hand-rolling the leaves, which helps to release the oils and create the distinctive aroma and flavor. The tea is then oxidized, dried, and sorted before being packaged and shipped.

Darjeeling tea is enjoyed by tea connoisseurs around the world, and it is often brewed using water that is heated to around 90°C (194°F) and steeped for 3-4 minutes. It can be consumed plain, or with a dash of milk and sugar.
