Organic Darjeeling Summer Singell

About Organic Darjeeling Summer Singell

Our Organic Darjeeling Spring Singell Tea is a premium second flush with a quality grade of FTGFOP1. The leaves are predominantly black, interspersed with chocolate-brown twists and dark green speckles. This results in a rich amber infusion with a bouquet of fruity and spicy aromas. The flavour is warm and sweet, reminiscent of baked fruit, harmoniously balanced with distinct muscatel notes.

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 Organic Darjeeling Summer Singell best in the late morning or early afternoon. It pairs wonderfully with light snacks like butter cookies, lemon cake, or fresh fruit. Its fruity and aromatic flavour also complements a light breakfast or a relaxing afternoon tea session.
