Summer tea from the foothills of the Himalayas

Darjeeling tea is especially mellow and is therefore regarded as one of the best teas in the world. Tea generally contains a number of valuable natural ingredients. For example tannin gives the tea its mildly tart taste.

The tea’s characteristic aroma depends on when it is harvested. This ORGANIC Darjeeling tea from Unimedica is from the second flush. This means that the tea leaves are plucked in the second harvesting period from the beginning of June to the beginning of July. So this summer tea has a correspondingly rich and nutty nutmeg aroma.

Only tea from Darjeeling is Darjeeling tea

The tea bushes used for ORGANIC Darjeeling black tea from Unimedica grow in strictly certified organic conditions in Darjeeling, a tea-growing region in northern India, which is a protected tradename for tea from this area.

The location at heights of up to 2,800 metres on the southern foothills of the Himalayas is particularly favourable for growing tea.

How green tea leaves becomes black tea

Black tea is created by natural fermentation of the leaves of the tea plant. After the harvest the leaves are dried and intensively rolled. This breaks the cell walls of the tea leaves, releasing the enzymes necessary for oxidation. The leaves thereby turn black as the oxidation intensifies, creating a full-bodied flavour with numerous nuances of taste.

A pleasure at any time of year

ORGANIC Darjeeling black tea from Unimedica is brewed with hot water, releasing a heady aroma. It can be enjoyed hot or cold – for example, with a dash of lemon juice.

Each packet of ORGANIC Darjeeling second flush black tea from Unimedica contains 100 g dried, fermented tea leaves.
