The East India Company Campbell Darjeeling Black Loose Leaf Tea Caddy
125G
Brand:
East India Company
A light and fragrant black tea with signature muscatel flavour, a combination of
fruity, floral and earthy notes.
The East India Company acquired territory in the Darjeeling district after the
Nepal War.
In 1839, Dr. Campbell was appointed Superintendent of the area by The Company
and experimented with planting tea in the grounds of his official residence. The
success of the plants led to the establishment of numerous gardens and the
unique "muscatel" flavour of the second flush teas became well known and highly
prized.
After 1850, the cultivation area was extended and the success of Darjeeling tea
was assured. Grown at high altitude above five thousand feet, this is a tea of
the finest qualities.
