The Etiquette of tea

Darjeeling Tea Lovers, The Etiquette of Tea Whenever the human race invents a new pleasure, it seems that pretty soon it also invents a set of rules to govern it. The drinking of tea is no exception, and it has been defined by all kinds of rules and practices over the centuries, which differ from nation to nation. We are keen to encourage tea drinkers to take their tea however they choose, unconstrained by too many old-fashioned rules - for it is the taste of the tea that matters most. But for your interest, we have listed a few 'rules' of etiquette that have grown up around the taking of tea in DARJEELING.

How to preserve your tea?

Loose-leaf tea will keep very well in an airtight container for up to a year. All you need to ensure is that the teas are not exposed to moisture and too much of direct sunlight.

Stirring a cup of tea

It is best to move the spoon gently back and forth from front to back, rather than round and round, and to avoid clinking the side of the cup.
