    I love 1st flush darjeeling teas. It is a shame people are struggling there as we pay a lot of money for these teas here in UK which means the wrong people are getting rich while others suffer

    Drinking a cup of Darjeeling while watching this, and the tea always has a special place in my heart.
    The best way to describe it is that it’s a tea that hugs you tightly. It’s the taste of comfort. It will always put you at peace. ❤

    Can you make it herbal tho

      Some gardens do herbal products! But it's a fringe item of the region as the tea brings in far more revenue.

      @@Chaz_Enjoyer We're not sure where to get herbals from Darjeeling online, but we'd recommend other sources. Much of what you pay for in Darjeeling tea is the workers' expert handling of tea leaves. Herbal teas aren't made from the Camellia sinensis tea plant, and they're not really a specialty of the region. We source a variety of caffeine free herbal infusions from growers throughout the Mediterranean, the Balkans, and Asia who specialize in beautiful herbs and flowers: inpursuitoftea.com/collections/herbal

    What is the correct way to make this tea? I am tired of trying

    • @inpursuitoftea1239
      @inpursuitoftea1239  8 днів тому

      Darjeeling can be tricky to brew! For 1st flush teas, use water between 190-200 and about 3 grams of leaf, then steep for 2-3 minutes. For 2nd flush teas, use a little more leaf and water just off the boil, with a longer steep of 3-4 minutes. We have more detailed brewing advice on our website, inpursuitoftea.com.

    Tea gardens are too much politically exploited. Save world famous tea. Support tea garden workers. 🙏🙏

    Is darjeeling organic?

    • @inpursuitoftea1239
      @inpursuitoftea1239  10 місяців тому

      Often but not always. Many individual gardens are certified organic or have certain organic fields. It's best to look up the estate to see.

    Worst tea to buy from near tea garden shops with numbers 1-10 . Don't buy from those shops. Tea don't taste good.
