Darjeeling Black Tea｜Flavor Introduction

Darjeeling Black Tea is known for its gentle aroma, with a tea soup that exhibits a light golden-yellow color. It has a rich flavor with a hint of sweetness. The fresh leaves are covered with fine hairs, soft, and bright, requiring more raw materials in the production process compared to other types of tea leaves.

Darjeeling Black Tea originates from the Darjeeling highlands at the foothills of the Himalayas in the northern part of West Bengal, India. It is a type of black tea known for its fruity and rich flavor. It is highly esteemed in the United Kingdom, having won numerous awards and often regarded as the “champagne of black teas” or the “king of black teas” for its exceptional quality.

In 1834, the British East India Company established a Tea Committee to study the tea cultivation issue. They dispatched the committee secretary, C.J. Gordon, to China to purchase tea seeds and saplings and seek out experts in tea planting and processing. They hired tea industry technicians from Asia to instruct and train in the methods of tea processing, bringing back many tea seeds to be planted in Darjeeling. In 1836, the Chinese tea workers brought back by Gordon successfully experimented with Chinese processing methods in C.A. Bruce’s tea factory.

The tea plants in the Darjeeling region were introduced by Scottish doctor Arthur Campbell Doctor, who served as the regional supervisor. In 1841, he successfully experimented with Chinese tea seeds brought from Kumao in his residence garden. Subsequently, tea cultivation in the Darjeeling region entered a rapid development phase. Scottish botanist Robert Fortune was also dispatched by the East India Company to Wuyi Mountain, China, in 1849 to clandestinely obtain tea seedlings and seeds. He hired eight tea artisans and, in 1850-1851, shipped large quantities of tea seedlings and seeds to Calcutta, cultivating 12,000 new tea plants in Assam and Darjeeling.

Puzhen Tea｜Sustainable Package

The design philosophy behind Sustainable Package is rooted in reverence and gratitude for nature. We aspire to bridge the gap between traditional tea culture and modern life by exploring the flavors of Taiwanese tea in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. Therefore, we have infused this belief into our brand name. Puzhen not only represents uncut jade but also pays tribute to and admires the pristine beauty of this land.

In order to fulfill our commitment to respecting and protecting the environment, in 2023, we introduced the Sustainable Package program. This program utilizes packaging materials without paper or tin cans, aiming to reduce the amount of packaging used while providing consumers with more tea products by weight. Our intention is to reduce the use of packaging materials from the source, choose eco-friendly materials, and promote the recycling of paper, contributing to environmental conservation efforts. This allows our tea to taste fresher and purer, while also making a modest contribution to protecting the Earth`s environment. By providing consumers with a purer tea experience through eco-friendly packaging, we are embarking on a new journey to explore Taiwanese tea.
