Forget those other 'tea' offers that have blends or may not even include any real tea.

If you haven't tried a quality single estate Darjeeling Tea, now is a good opportunity to try some at a great price.

What's Darjeeling tea? Darjeeling is a region in Eastern India which is known for their tea. With mountainous regions, it has some of the most idea growing conditions for tea and many of the estates/gardens (think winery) are over 100 years old.

What's a single estate tea? In most of the Western world, tea is tea much like how coffee was coffee a few decades back. In fact, tea is not tea. While all tea comes from a single type of plant, the growing conditions (soil, climate, rainfall, altitude) as well as the age of the bush will change the favour of the tea - much like fine wine. In fact, tea should be sorted to years and seasons when it was picked just as wine is to truly understand tea - the favours will vary from season to season and year to year. In Canada, there is almost ZERO opportunity to try out single estate teas (let alone at a sale price) due to people not understanding the benefits of single estates. The closest we normally get is a generic 'Darjeeling' tea which is blended from all sorts of tea and really makes a poor representation of Darjeeling.
