An Amazing old Darjeeling Tea photo I found

I was just meddling with my old stuff and I found an old Darjeeling Tea photo. Its an amazing find and I had to post it here. Its so touching to see one of the porters carry tea chest in the olden days. The tea chest is clearly marked with the tea company name “NS Tea Co. Ltd.” and the tea garden name which is “Bloomfield” now known as “Orange Valley Tea Estate”. The invoice no. is also visible but not so vivid. I humbly salute all the pioneers and all the tea workers who put their blood and sweat in bringing up this famed Darjeeling Tea industry and for making it possible for us to brew this heavenly brew in the comfort of our homes.

I wonder how it might have been in the olden days? Wish I had perceived it, but what if I didn’t, I can still feel the presence with every sip of Darjeeling Tea I take.

Enjoy the photo!! If you think this is a valuable share, re-tweeting or sharing it on your Facebook profiles will be appreciated greatly. Sharing with other tea lovers can be a tremendous feeling.

You know the frequency of blog posts to this blog, just unpredictable and I can’t predict when I am gonna post next hehe, though I try to, cross my heart!!

Take care and Happy Tea Sipping friends!

    thanks for the comment Margaret. Well, there can be various green Darjeelings which may have slightly different characteristics. Anyways, greens have light liqour, slightly yellowish cup with light vegetal notes. Will tend to get bitter if you steep it long. Its best you use more of the tea leaves and less of steeping time. Consider experimenting different timings. I have Arya Green and Arya Emerald. Arya Green is the common Darjeeling green but a nice tea quite tippy. Arya Emerald is the other. Both share the above characteristics, but Emerald seems to have a citric nose as well. So slight differences are there. Which tea garden green you have?
