Darjeeling Spring Singell

About Darjeeling Spring Singell

Our Darjeeling Spring Singell Tea is an exquisite first flush made from a quality grade of FTGFOP1. The small, perfectly balanced leaves ensure an even distribution of buds, leaves, and spirals. This results in a golden infusion with aromas of fresh hay, warm honey, and young flowers.

About Darjeeling

Darjeeling is a tea variety from the Indian district of Darjeeling, the centre of Bengali tea cultivation around the city of Darjeeling. Notably, the finer Chinese variety is predominantly grown here, mainly processed into black tea. This gives Darjeeling tea its unmistakable taste among black teas: it is made from a variety usually processed into green tea. Today, green tea production is increasing in Darjeeling, but the region owes its fame to black tea.

Cultivation

This exceptional tea comes from the Singell Tea Estate, situated 1,500 meters above sea level, overlooking the eastern Himalayas and surrounded by pine forests and lush green valleys.

Effects

Darjeeling tea contains moderate amounts of caffeine, promoting alertness and concentration while also having calming and blood pressure-lowering effects. The high concentration of antioxidants like flavonoids and polyphenols helps neutralize free radicals and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. The tannins in Darjeeling tea aid digestion and contribute to overall health but should be enjoyed in moderation to maintain its positive effects.

How to enjoy

Enjoy our Darjeeling Spring Singell in the late morning or early afternoon. Its delicate flavour pairs beautifully with fine pastries, light sandwiches, or fresh fruit. The fresh and floral notes of this tea also make it the perfect complement to a light breakfast or a relaxing teatime.
