Keep reading and you will soon have a cup of this tea in your hand.

What Darjeeling Tea Tastes Like

Darjeeling tea does not taste like your traditional tea. What it tastes like, however, depends on when it is harvested. This is because all the tea is not harvested at the same time but instead harvested periodically. The first harvest is known as the first flush, which gives the tea a delicate and light flavor. The second flush, which comes from a mature plant, has a more robust flavor that has a fruity taste, much like wine.

You will hear Darjeeling tea referred to as the 'Champaign of Teas" and when you taste it you will realize it tastes like no tea you have ever had before. Not every glass of Darjeeling tastes the same, as it depends on when it was flushed.

Benefits of Darjeeling Tea

Besides having a unique taste, Darjeeling tea offers many benefits. Some of these benefits include:

• Preventing Gastric Cancer: Fifteen to 20 percent of people develop ulcers and gastric cancer. This may be due to H. pylori, which is a pathogen. Darjeeling tea has been known to inhibit this pathogen to help prevent gastric cancer. It works best when the tea is steeped for five minutes. You should not add milk to the tea, however, as this reduces how much the tea can inhibit the pathogen.
• Preventing Dental Problems: Darjeeling green tea is high in polyphenols, which is an antioxidant that can help battle things like gum disease and tooth decay. You can also find polyphenols in cranberries.
• Help with Weight: Both black and green Darjeeling teas can help you lose weight. First, Darjeeling tea is low in calories so if you replace this with a high calorie drink, such as coffee with a lot of sugar or sodas, you will lose weight. Darjeeling tea can also increase your energy level, which can help you be more active.
