Darjeeling is a town in India's West Bengal state, in the Himalayan foothills, Eastern part of India. Once a summer resort for the British Raj elite, it remains the terminus of the narrow-gauge Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, or Toy Train, completed in 1881. It's famed for the distinctive black tea grown on plantations that dot its surrounding slopes. Its backdrop is Mt. Kanchenjunga, among the world's highest peaks.
Darjeeling tea is renowned and appreciated for its distinct muscatel flavour. The combination of soil, climate, the longitude & latitude of Darjeeling lend the tea its unique character. The light, bright liquoring cup is valued for its briskness and flowery flavour. Darjeeling Tea cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.
