Darjeeling Tea Teesta Valley

An Elegant Himalayan Black Tea

Darjeeling Teesta Valley Tea is a refined, high-altitude black tea with a bright, elegant character. The cup opens with fresh floral notes and soft citrus, followed by gentle muscatel sweetness and a clean, lightly astringent finish. Grown in the misty foothills of the Himalayas, it’s smooth, aromatic, and beautifully balanced.

Naturally rich in antioxidants, this tea supports gentle energy, mental clarity and digestion, while offering a lighter, more uplifting alternative to heavier black teas. Ideal for slow mornings or an elegant afternoon brew.

About Teesta Valley Estate

Set on the misty slopes of the eastern Himalayas, Teesta Valley Estate is one of Darjeeling’s most respected tea gardens, lying at elevations of roughly 900–1,800 metres. This high-altitude setting brings cool nights, bright days, and slow leaf growth, allowing flavour and aroma to develop with clarity. The estate’s terroir is defined by steep, well-drained slopes, mineral-rich soils, and moisture-laden mountain air carried up from the Teesta River below. Careful hand-plucking, deep local knowledge, and a strong work ethic underpin production, with quality prioritised over yield. The result is a refined Darjeeling tea that reflects both place and practice.
