Blue Moon Darjeeling Green Tea

Darjeeling, a ‘hill station’ in the Kalimpong district of the state of West Bengal in India, was developed by the British East India Company during colonial times. Archibald Campbell first planted the Camellia sinensis varietal in this area in 1841, which was deemed more suitable for Darjeeling's terroir than the assamica varietal. Darjeeling could not compete with other tea regions in terms of quantity or price because of its remoteness so it focused on quality. The outcome of that approach culminated in Darjeeling tea known as the "champagne of teas”.

Zaica’s Blue Moon Darjeeling Green Tea is a limited edition production and represents the epitome of terroir, skill and luck. Only 9kg was produced by our tea estate and one cup was all it took to snag all of it for Zaica tea aficionados. This is one of our finest teas - smooth with a depth of flavor that is rarely achieved. Which is why we named it the ‘Blue Moon’ tea.
