Darjeeling Standard (TGBOP) – India

Our Darjeeling Standard Tea is an unusually robust version of Darjeeling tea which is usually renowned for its delicate flavour. The broken leaf brings a spicy edge to the traditional floral, thin body of most Darjeeling teas.

Grading: Tippy Golden Broken Orange Pekoe: a high grade broken leaf tea with a large proportion of golden tips.

• Broken-leaf tea is tea that has been torn or broken, but is still in large enough pieces to be recognizable as pieces of leaf.

• Tippy tells us that most of this tea is the golden tip of the tea plant.
