Portia’s Travel 🧳 Diaries 📚~ Darjeeling, June 2009. As you pass through the tea fields, talk to the beautiful tea pickers as they tell you the journey of “two leaves and a bud.” 😍😍😍 🌱🌱🌱 🍵 ☕️ Rediscover the art of growing and crafting Tea ☕️ with a visit to this sixteen-hundred-acre private estate Glenburn Tea !

Glenburn Tea Estate is a tea garden in the Rangli Rangliot CD block in Darjeeling. Glenburn produces some of the finest Darjeeling tea. It specialises in Black tea, but also produces other varieties.

A pound of tea is produced from about a thousand tender shoots. Fresh tea leaves contain over 75% moisture and this moisture is removed, in a process called withering, by blowing air through the leaves. The next step, the rolling process, once done by hand, is now done by machines. In this process the cells are ruptured before fermentation, a process of oxidation. In the fermentation process, tea acquires “flavour, strength and health giving properties”. Finally, the tea is dried by passing hot air through the leaves.
