Darjeeling Green

This is a delicious green Darjeeling from Selim Hill Estate and it is an easy-drinker. It is for the green tea enthusiast who appreciates green teas but prefers simplicity and lack of astringency. It does not have the ‘biting’ green taste that many green teas have. It has a complexity and depth of flavor. The flavor is filled with nuance – it has a lush softness and a buttery body that speaks to Darjeeling enthusiasts. It has many of the same qualities as the black teas of this region, but with an unoxidized leaf.

The fine aroma is fresh, crisp and herbaceous, and suggestive of sage, thyme, and other green herbs. The liquor is light amber in color that perfectly suits the flavor that this tea carries.

Selim Hill Tea Estate is one of India's oldest organic farms, located in Kurseong area and in Darjeeling district. The location of the estate is considered mid-level, and the gardens are perched on a hilly slope with varying elevations that rise up to some 3,500 feet and faces the mountain on its north. There are over 200 workers employed in the garden. Selim Hill was established in 1870.

What is Darjeeling Tea?

Many teas from Darjeeling are considered connoisseurs revere the world's finest, high-quality tea for its exquisite flavour and delicate nuances. Interestingly, the Darjeeling tea plant is the small-leaf Chinese Camellia sinensis species rather than the broad-leaf Assamese variety. The cultivation of tea in Darjeeling began in 1841, with the planting of the Chinese tea plant by a British surgeon posted there during British rule. Traditionally thought of as black tea, Darjeeling tea gardens have now begun to produce green, oolong, and white varieties, with Green Darjeeling quickly gaining popularity. Grown on 87 estates in the foothills of the Himalayas in India, only tea cultivated in the Darjeeling area can bear the name Darjeeling. The production of Green Darjeeling involves plucking and withering the leaves, followed by steaming instead of fermentation. This process preserves the tea's green colour and halts oxidation, allowing it to retain high levels of polyphenols. These powerful antioxidants offer numerous health benefits. Characterized by vegetal, delicate, and musky notes, Green Darjeeling is lighter yet just as complex as its black counterpart. Its unique flavour profile and health benefits have made it a favoured choice for those seeking a luxurious yet nutritious beverage. Whether enjoyed as a warm cup of freshly brewed tea or as a refreshing, bubbly chilled drink, Green Darjeeling offers a delightful way to liven up your day.
