From the highest elevation tea garden in Darjeeling, India and the first to go organic and fair trade certified in the region. This is a 2012 season DJ-2 invoice, meaning it was the second batch of this year's new plucking season. The initial batches of a tea garden are generally more sought after and offer brighter, fresher flavors. We have strong friendship with this garden and are fortunate to be able to help highlight the quality and artisanship of Darjeeling tea. Made only the top buds and newly sprouted leaves.
