Traditionally, we have always offered single estate Darjeeling teas as each individual garden has its own distinct character depending on the tea bushes, the position of the particular tea field, the altitude, and the weather. On this occasion however, we have skilfully blended teas from different gardens in order to combine the very best characteristics of each. The result is a truly outstanding tea.
