Darjeeling Tea from Golden Moon

If you’re a tea drinker, you’ve no doubt sampled a Darjeeling
tea. Darjeeling is one of the most popular teas in the world, and
it is grown only in India. Darjeeling has been around for many
years, but even today, it is a best seller.

Darjeeling tea is produced only in the Darjeeling region of
India. The Darjeeling region is an area of high altitude:
4,000-10,000 feet above sea level. In this part of India there is
a mist in the air almost constantly. This mist, combined with the
high altitude ensures that the tea trees are always cool and
moist. This moisture, combined with the soil’s excellent drainage
produce tea leaves that have a very distinct flavor. It is often
described as a muscadine flavor, leading Darjeeling to be known
as the “champagne” of teas. Darjeeling is a lighter tea than many
black teas, which is why the English consider it to be one of the
best afternoon teas.

The tea from the Darjeeling region of India is so popular that it
has even made the area popular with tourists. Each year,
thousands of people ride the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway up into
these mountains to see the beautiful tea gardens.

When you taste a good Darjeeling, you’ll taste definite fruity
notes, along with nut and florals blending beautifully with that
muscatel flavoring that comes only from this part of the world.
And, only Darjeeling has that particular astringency. It’s one of
the things that make the flavor of Darjeeling so unique. And, as
a special treat, a really good Darjeeling offers an exquisite
bouquet, as well, often with the smell of a fine wine. But,
finding a really good Darjeeling can be difficult.

Darjeeling is one of the most popular tea blends, and the demand
often exceeds the supply. For this reason, the Darjeeling you
purchase from many tea purveyors is only part Darjeeling, having
been mixed with other types of black tea, but labeled Darjeeling.
If you read the label closely, you’ll see the true mix; usually
about 50%. The rest is filler - mostly dust from poor grade
Darjeeling or other black teas. In fact, it is estimated that
each year, about ten thousand pounds of Darjeeling tea is grown,
but over forty thousand pounds of tea is sold each year as
Darjeeling!

But, it is possible to find a great Darjeeling that is 100%
Darjeeling tea. Look no further than Golden Moon for the most
delicious Darjeeling tea you’ve ever tried.

So, why is Golden Moon’s Darjeeling better than others? There are
two factors that make the Darjeeling you get from Golden Moon
better than others.

The first is the tea garden itself. Golden Moon prides itself in
having relationships with the best tea gardens in Darjeeling.
Some tea growers are definitely better than others and Golden
Moon checks out every grower they’re considering before they do
business with them.

Tending a quality tea garden is a year round job. The first work
of the year begins in March, when the tea plants are pruned one
last time before the first pluckings begin. Then, in April or
May, the tea begins being harvested. Typically, tea made from the
first plucking of the year will be the best for the entire
growing season. This is because the tea leaves are the most
tender during the spring.

Once the first harvest is plucked, the tea is processed. The
black tea leaves will be fully fermented and processed according
to grade.

During the rest of the year, the tea garden must be tended to
keep it at its best. The plants must be weeded all throughout the
summer along with harvesting additional crops of tea. Tea plants
do most of their growing during the autumn, so the plants must be
fertilized during this time. Around October, the tea plants will
be pruned in preparation for the winter. Then throughout the
winter, the tea gardener must pay special attention to any tea
plants under four years of age, ensuring that they are protected
from the cold.

To ensure that Golden Moon gets the best tea, they work only with
tea gardens that are careful to follow each of these steps very
carefully all throughout the year. In addition, Golden Moon’s
Darjeeling tea garden is organic and biodynamic, ensuring a tea
that is exceptionally healthy as well as delicious.

Secondly, Golden Moon provides its customers with great
Darjeeling tea because it purchases only the finest grades. When
tea is processed, it is divided by grades. The whole leaves that
are intact with large sized leaves are the most prized; and these
are the ones reserved for Golden Moon. This ensures that Golden
Moon’s Darjeeling is the best quality around and has a flavor
that is rich.

Darjeeling tea is easy to find. Exceptional Darjeeling is a rare
treat. If you’ve never had really high quality Darjeeling tea
from Golden Moon, you’re missing out on one of the world’s
greatest tea experiences. Don’t skimp when it comes to
Darjeeling. Try Golden Moon’s special Darjeeling for a bouquet
that is unequaled in other tea tastes.
