Darjeeling is open

March 31, 2011

There has been labor strife in the mountains of Darjeeling. So, there was none of the First Flush Darjeelings being shipped. Now that seems to have been resolved. So we should have this year’s offerings soon. The season, so far, has produced better teas than last year.
