The soil and climatic conditions that exist here create teas that are treasured for their exquisite taste. Often referred to as the "Champagne of teas", Darjeeling teas are so prized that the government there created a special logo that certifies that the teas bearing this logo were actually grown in this beautiful mountain terrain.

Darjeeling Tea Bark
Recipe fromCulinary Teaby Cynthia Gold and Lise Stern
Ingredients: 1 pound finely chopped bittersweet or semisweet chocolate 2 Tbsp coarsely ground or crushed Darjeeling tea leaves
Preparation: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In the top of a double boiler set over just steaming water, melt the chocolate slowly, stirring frequently. When about ¾ of the chocolate is melted, remove the pan from the heat and stir until all the chocolate is melted. The chocolate should feel just slightly warm to the touch. Stir in the tea and mix well to distribute.
Pour the chocolate onto the prepared pan and spread it about 1/8" thick. Let the bark set at room temperature until completely solid, about 4-6 hours. When it is set, break into pieces that are about 2" square. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
I ordered two packeges of this Earl Grey. One for a friend who loves Earl Grey, and the other for myself. But I gave her mine as welll. I used to enjoy bergamot, but tired of it after a few years and I find that it remains unplesant. So Earl Grey drinkers, take her word for it, not mine.
