About Darjeeling Cuppa

This is me!Hi! This is Benoy, a Tea Lover, who hails from Darjeeling. This Darjeeling Tea Blog is some sort of a personal update site, but would love to talk about Darjeeling, its people and of course specifically Darjeeling Tea. Would love to share my tea experiences and thus would like to hear comments on it. Though not a perfect animal with all the tea instincts, I simply love exploring my hometown product. I will also update, from time to time as to what is going on with my tea company - offers etc. Hope you enjoy your stay!
