Darjeeling Imperial Black Tea
A rare and distinguished Second Flush Darjeeling crafted from prized AV2 bushes grown at elevations of 7,000 feet, Darjeeling Imperial Black represents the pinnacle of summer harvest excellence. Carefully hand-plucked during a narrow seasonal window, only the finest shoots and tender buds are selected to create a tea of remarkable elegance, complexity, and character.
The high-altitude terroir and slow-growing leaves contribute to the tea's celebrated muscatel character and refined depth. The leaves brew into a brilliant amber-orange liquor with captivating aromatics and exceptional clarity. Smooth and refined, the cup reveals layers of ripe stone fruit, honeyed sweetness, and delicate floral nuances, balanced by a bright, lively character and a lingering finish.
Regal in expression yet effortless to enjoy, this exceptional harvest embodies the craftsmanship, elevation, and seasonal beauty that have made Darjeeling the world's most celebrated tea origin.
