Darjeeling Tea is a type of black tea originating from the Darjeeling region in the state of West Bengal, India. Known as the "Champagne of Teas," it is cultivated on the slopes of the Himalayas and stands out for its delicate, floral, and slightly fruity flavor, with a fresh aroma and sometimes muscatel notes. Its artisanal production and the unique climatic conditions of the area give it a highly valued quality and organoleptic profile in global gastronomy.
Regarding its properties, Darjeeling tea is a natural antioxidant beverage that contains moderate amounts of caffeine, helping to stimulate the nervous system and improve concentration. It also provides minerals and vitamins such as potassium, magnesium, and B vitamins. It is ideal to consume both cold and hot and is frequently used in recipes for desserts, beverages, and culinary pairings, thanks to its distinctive flavor and versatility.
In Latin America, although there is no exact synonym, it is usually recognized simply as Darjeeling tea. However, in some countries, it may be called Darjeeling black tea or, more generally, Indian tea, to differentiate it from other types of black tea.
