A Taste of Darjeeling Tea, and Where It Comes From

2010-10-26 by Aleksandr Shatskih

Darjelling view in the morning.

Our trip to the world famous Darjeeling region of Bengal was rejuvenating for us, and invigorating for family who had never been. India’s Darjeleing tea is one of the most famous in the world. The British Empire could literally not do without it. But the mountains themselves, now there is the real treasure. Come to Darjeeling, learn why it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
