Darjeeling – Ambootia Estate Organic Green Tea

Internationally renowned Darjeeling teas come to us from the area in and around Darjeeling, a Himalayan town in the state of West Bengal in eastern India. The soil and climatic conditions that exist here create teas that are treasured for their exquisite taste. Often referred to as the “Champagne of teas”, Darjeeling teas are so prized that the government there created a special logo that certifies that the teas bearing this logo were actually grown in this beautiful mountain terrain.

The Ambootia Estate, established in 1861, currently produces all of their teas using organic and bio-dynamic farming practices. Their organic green is a superlative tea with its pale hues and refreshing aroma. The smallish green leaves impart a sweet after-taste, with more body than most green teas and the wonderful flavor of a fine Darjeeling.

Brew tea at 180º – steep for 2 minutes.

Try pairing this tea with sandwiches, breads, fruits, poultry, seafood, or salads.
