Review: Darjeeling is sometimes known as the “champagne” of teas for its light, delicate fragrance and taste. Whittard of Chelsea, a British company which has recently opened operations in the United States, produces a particularly lovely blend: Light and fragrant, but also wonderfully satisfying.
The dry leaves are dark to medium brown, and have a slightly pungent, woody fragrance, which doesn’t entirely match the aroma of the finished cup. When brewed, the tea is a lovely golden brown color, very fragrant (the woodiness and pungency is replaced by a slightly sweet,slightly spicy scent), and quite delicious.
Recommendation: While darjeeling is often served in the afternoon, I really like this tea for breakfast. Enjoy it plain or with a bit of milk.
