From Wiki:

Darjeeling
Type: Black

Other names: The Champagne of Teas
Origin: Darjeeling, India

Quick description: Fruity and spicy.

Darjeeling tea has traditionally been prized above all other black teas, especially in the UK and the countries comprising the former British Empire. It comes from Darjeeling in West Bengal, India. When properly brewed it yields a thin-bodied, light-colored liquor with a floral aroma a tinge of astringent tannic characteristics, and a musky spiciness often referred to by tea connoisseurs as “muscatel.” A sweet cooling aftertaste should be felt on the mouth.

Tea planting in the Indian district of Darjeeling was begun during 1841 by a Dr. Campbell, a civil surgeon of the Indian Medical Service, who had been transferred to that area during 1839: he used seeds from China. Experimental tea plantation by himself and others occurred during the 1840s and the government established tea nurseries during that period. Commercial exploitation began during the 1850s.
