The Story of this Tea

Darjeeling is a fun, vibrant crossroad of cultures where life thrives against the backdrop of the Himalayas. As the morning mist lifts you may catch a glimpse of Everest, a leopard prowling in the teabushes, or hear the monks quietly chanting. Our black tea, hand-picked at an empyrean altitude in the summer months embodies the warm honeyed essence of these Himalayan heights.
Please note, 50 tea bags come un-enveloped in a resealable bag. 100 tea bags comes as a box of 100 individually enveloped tea bags.

Where does this cup come from?

Darjeeling, India

Darjeeling is one of our favourite places on earth—a fun, true crossroads of culture, created by its remoteness. It's the only place you’ll find a steaming momo nestled next to baked beans in an "English" fry-up, where local women have been clinching football trophies for decades, and where scenic drives have the thrill of a 100ft sheer drop on the roadside. Life here thrives against the backdrop of the Himalayas, as the early morning mist lifts you are rewarded with a glimpse of the mountains, a stealthy leopard prowling through the tea bushes and the soft chants of monks. You might even find yourself serenely sipping tea—until your exploding snack packet suddenly reminds you that altitude has its quirks.

Jing Tea Customer Services

I really found this tea to be full bodied, but smooth.

Obsessed!! Had at The Four Seasons and had to order immediately ❤️

Disappointing substitute

I have always loved the darjeeling second flush which jing used to sell. The new Empyrean tea is tasteless by comparison. I will not be buying it again

Hello Nina, we're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the newly name and packaged Darjeeling tea received.

The tea within the new packaging has not changed, and is the identical blend from previous. Due to this, there should be no difference in taste for this product.

We have forwarded your feedback to our Head of Tea to investigate this further with the supplier directly.

Please be assured, there have been no similar complaints of this nature, and we hope this is an isolated incident.

Thank you for your feedback. It all helps to improve the JING brand for the future.

Warm regards,

JING Customer Service Team

Darjeeling Second Flush Tea Bags

The tea that will leave a lingering fresh taste in your mouth for hours.

Excellent Customer Service

First order went missing in Royal Mail. Customer Services quickly replaced the order with special next day morning delivery by courier. The first order turned up a few days later and Jing provided a Returns Label to return the order. Well Done Jing

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I store JING tea?

All tea should be kept away from heat, light, moisture and odours. Exposure to these will cause the tea to deteriorate and lose flavour.

We recommend storing our loose teas in our beautiful Refill Caddies or its resealable ziplock bag, and store them in a cool dry place. Generally speaking, black teas and more heavily oxidized oolongs can be stored for a longer time than green, white and lightly oxidized oolong teas. Green teas, white teas and light oolong teas are best drunk within two to three months of opening.

However, they can also be stored in the fridge to maintain freshness for as long as possible. If you choose to store your green, white and light oolongs in the fridge, be careful to take the packs out a little in advance of making your tea so that they can reach room temperature. Opening a bag straight from the fridge will result in condensation on the inside of the pack, which when closed can then affect the quality of the tea inside.

What are your shipping methods and costs?

We offer free next day delivery on all mainland UK orders over £60 For a full list of our delivery options, cut off times and restrictions, please view our Delivery Information.

How do you source your teas?

We don’t just believe that single origin and single garden teas taste better. We go direct to source to get them. Cutting out the middlemen in this way encourages transparency by increasing traceability. It also helps us to build strong relationships with producers, so we can better support them and their communities. We back this up with stringent responsible procurement processes, applicable to all of our suppliers. You can find out more here.
