Darjeeling tea is a type of black tea produced in India. Darjeeling tea has a fruity aroma and a golden or bronze color, depending on the way it's brewed. Tea experts say it has notes (flavors) of citrus fruit, flowers, and even a vegetal quality. Darjeeling tastes sweeter and less bitter than other forms of black tea. Provides Essential Antioxidants. Darjeeling tea is abundant in antioxidants such as thearubigins and theaflavins. Together, these complex compounds combat free radicals, neutralize harmful chemicals during digestion, and eliminate toxins. Darjeeling teas are best known for the muscatel flavour, described as a "musky spiciness", "a unique muscat-like fruitiness in aroma and flavour", that develops in the second flush and is present to a lesser degree in the subsequent autumnal flush.
