The sensory experience: Darjeeling tea notes and scent
Darjeeling tea is world-renowned for its complex darjeeling tea notes, often described as "muscatel"—a unique combination of sweet grape and floral undertones. The darjeeling tea scent is equally distinctive, offering a sophisticated bouquet that ranges from fresh spring moss in first-flush leaves to mellow, woody aromas in later harvests.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much caffeine in Darjeeling tea?
A common question for enthusiasts is: how much caffeine in darjeeling tea? On average, an 8oz cup contains approximately 40 to 70mg of caffeine. While this is lower than coffee, it provides a focused, sustained energy boost. For those sensitive to stimulants, our Giddapahar Alpine White Tea offers a gentler experience.
What is the difference in a Darjeeling tea oolong?
Unlike fully oxidized black teas, a darjeeling tea oolong is semi-oxidized. This preservation of the leaf’s natural green state results in a tea that is lighter than a black tea but more complex than a green tea, highlighting the "wonder" of the Giddapahar estate.
Do you offer a Darjeeling rose tea?
While we specialize in pure estate leaves like the Niroula's Smoky Wellness Black Tea, many customers create a DIY darjeeling rose tea by pairing our floral Avongrove Imperial with organic rose petals. This enhances the natural darjeeling tea scent for a truly luxurious infusion.
