Harvesting

Darjeeling Tea, cultivated in the picturesque Darjeeling region of India, owes its distinct flavour to the area's cool climate and nutrient-rich, acidic soil. Grown using organic methods, this premium tea avoids synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, ensuring a pure, natural product. Harvested during seasonal flushes—spring, summer, and autumn—each batch offers unique flavours, from the light and floral first flush to the deeper, more robust autumn variety.

After harvesting, the leaves undergo careful processing, including withering, rolling, oxidation, and firing, which enhances their characteristic aroma and taste. With its pale gold to amber hues, organic Darjeeling tea is rich in antioxidants and nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium, making it a refreshing and healthful choice.

The organic nature of Organic Loose Darjeeling Tea means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Loose Darjeeling Tea in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
