Grown in the foothills of the Himalayas in Northern India, the black tea from the Pussimbing Estate is picked in the spring. New leaves are picked every seven days for over a month. The teas produced during this period are light bodied with a slightly floral, nutty flavor with hints of peach.
Our Darjeeling Pussimbing Estate Reserve is Certified Organic and brews up fragrant, with a complex, vibrant flavor.

Sometimes I think most Darjeelings are darned-near the same! At least in taste. It’s not that I don’t like them…I do…but I haven’t really found one I LOVE yet. I mean really LOVE.
So far…this just may be my FAVE…
It’s nutty but not like a peanut or almond. It’s bold but not astringent. It’s vibrant and seems to energize me! It surely grabs my attention. It’s not your run of the mill Darjeeling! It’s also semi-sweet yet smooth! This is lovely!
This has changed my thoughts on Darjeeling! Lovely!
I love Darjeeling… so I usually like most Darjeeling teas that I encounter. However, sometimes I come across one that is really delightful… like this one.
The flavor is amazing. Sweet, light, a hint of nutty flavor and even a floral note. Very smooth. Golden! It seems to shimmer on the tongue, it tastes so good and light and lovely.
This is a really lovely Darjeeling. It is very smooth with notes of peach, honey, and cashew with just a hint of a malty-assam sort-of taste. It is light and smooth and tastes good with or without some sweetening.
It is a great afternoon pick-me up at that time of day around 3:30 when I just want to take a nap.
