So what is Darjeeling tea?? I saw a movie called Darjeeling Limited with Owen Wilson and Jason Schwarzman..
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darjeeling_tea
"Darjeeling tea, tea from the Darjeeling region in West Bengal, India, has traditionally been prized above all other black teas, especially in the United Kingdom and the countries comprising the former British Empire. When properly brewed it yields a thin-bodied, light-colored liquor with a floral aroma. The flavor also displays 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 in the mouth.
Most Darjeeling teas are made into black teas; however, Darjeeling oolong and green teas are becoming more commonly produced and easier to find, and a growing number of estates are also producing prized white teas."
