A fragrance nurtured by the Himalayas, Darjeeling

Darjeeling tea is known as one of the world's three major black teas, and is called "the champagne of black tea" due to its delicate and strong aroma. Even if you don't like black tea, it's a famous production area. Darjeeling has three distinct quality seasons: spring, summer and autumn. Autumnal, which is picked from the end of October to November, is the last harvest of the year. Unlike the spring and summer harvesting, when the tea fields are flashed with yellow sprouts spreading out, the temperature drops and the hints of winter begin to grow in the Himalayas in autumn. It is made by collecting tea leaves sprouting here and there from tea trees that have slowed down. For that reason, it will be called Autumnal, not First Flush, Second Flush, Autumn Flush like other quality seasons.
