Darjeeling is India's most celebrated tea and by the 19th century was well known in England as "fancy tea". This 2024 special reserve first flush Darjeeling tea emerges from the year’s very first and most delicate harvest in the early spring. Highly valued from intimate tasting rooms in Darjeeling, it's a delightful light-bodied brew of complex, lingering berry flavors, offering a clean and soft invitation on the palate. And as seasoned tea connoisseurs may have guessed, a couple years of good aging has served this black tea very well!
Nestled in the high and misty Darjeeling Hills in West Bengal (known as "Kingdom in the Sky"), the Namring Tea Estate has mastered it's production of fine Darjeeling teas since 1860, standing as one of the region’s oldest and grandest tea gardens. At heights of 5,500 feet, the noble camellia sinensis bushes are brushed by crisp Himalayan winds that flow down from higher peaks, while generous rains from the distant Bay of Bengal nourish the garden. Enriched by mineral-rich soils, natural feng shui weave an elegant array of growing conditions, producing some of the most coveted teas. The estate’s owners and dedicated tea pickers serve as noble stewards, nurturing it with care and devotion to quality.
