The Ging Tea Estate is located at an altitude between 1200 and 1970 meters in the heart of the Darjeeling tea region in the North East of India.
Darjeeling (India) has a rich history of high quality tea. The cultivation and processing of tea was started centuries ago by the English. For years, Darjeeling was regarded as the top quality in the world. After a few difficult years, Darjeeling teas are now making their way back to the top. Darjeeling's teas grow at a high altitude and the tea is mainly processed into black tea. The color is generally lighter than, for example, Ceylon. You can also see from the dry tea leaf that it is not black, but rather green and/or brown.
The taste nuances in Darjeeling tea are often floral and sometimes fruity, muskatel. The mouthfeel can be dry - the tea can be a bit astringent. But the beautiful aromas often make up for that. Darjeeling generally does well in combination with sweets such as cakes, biscuits, whipped cream, etc.
