Synopsis
A few buyers from Germany and Japan have offered a marginal price hike while other buyers are negotiating for a lower price for the tea which hardly comes to auction centres and is sold privately by Darjeeling’s tea producers.

With 87 gardens, the Darjeeling tea industry depends on the premium quality first flush tea for sustenance, as it fetches the highest price in domestic and foreign markets. (Representative image)
Darjeeling first flush tea, or Chateau Lafite Rothschild for those in the trade, has failed to find many takers this year as the Covid-19-induced economic uncertainty has dampened demand for the variety which used to sell for Rs 9,000-10,000 per kg before the pandemic.

I have been privileged to taste thousands of wines over the years and try some of the greatest ones in the world. Iâve been writing about wine, food and travels for more than 10 years now, and the reason I first agreed to this column was the opportunity to share my experiences with fellow Western New Yorkersâand to maybe, just maybe, inspire you to try the wines that I have enjoyed.
Prior to writing about wine, my main favorites were California Cabernet and Pinot Noir. Since then I have learned about many other wines and wineries from the U.S. and around the world. I still love Cabernet and now I know that great Cabernet isnât just from California.
