Located in the northeastern corner of India, Darjeeling is known for its beautiful Buddhist and Hindu temples, dramatic mountain vistas, and, of course, its tea. Blessed with a mild, subtropical climate, and dizzying 4,000- foot elevation, Darjeeling has some of the best conditions on the planet for growing tea leaves, producing blends marked with an elegantly delicate sweetness and herby, refreshing aroma. In fact, Darjeeling is often called “the Champagne of teas,” which is certainly an apt comparison point for our fine, bright, and lightly fruity Trader Joe’s Organic Darjeeling Green Tea. (Except for the bubbles, of course.)

Naturally sweet and rich in antioxidants, our Organic Darjeeling Green Tea serves just as well as a special occasion kind of tea, with cucumber sandwiches and Macarons, as it does your everyday cuppa. We’re particularly fond of enjoying it as a morning or afternoon pickmeup, especially when paired with pastries, fruits, or mild and tangy fare: think fresh cut melon, a slice of French Apple Tart, or slices of apple spread with a bit of Fine Herbs Chevre.
