Darjeeling Teesta Valley Premium First Flush FTGFOP1 Black Loose Leaf Tea (100g)

ORIGIN: This tea is grown in the Darjeeling district, in the foothills of the Himalayas in India. The weather conditions there are rather harsh, the air is foggy, with cold winters followed by wet and hot monsoon periods. These specific conditions contribute to the tea's distinctive characteristics.
