Geocache Description:

This cache will be archived on October 31, 2011 to get ready for the 2011 Advent Series.

Thursday is a good day for tea, especially in the winter season. This is the first in a set of 4 individual traditional caches highlighting some different kinds of teas for you to enjoy. These 4 caches aren't meant to be difficult hides or long hikes necessarily, but should give you a reason to get out in the cold and build up a craving for one.



Darjeeling tea is traditionally referred to as that tea which is cultivated, grown, produced and manufactured in the Darjeeling mountainous area of India. Darjeeling tea is a unique tea which, when brewed, has a distinctive, naturally occurring aroma and taste. It is produced from the small leaved Chinese plant "Camellia Sinensis", first brought to India by the British in the 1830s.

When properly brewed, it yields a thin-bodied, light-colored liquor with a floral aroma. The flavour also displays a tinge of astringent tannic characteristics, and a musky spiciness often referred to by tea connoisseurs as "muscatel."
