Zum Monsoon Harvest Darjeeling Black Tea
$4.99
Zum Zum Monsoon Harvest Darjeeling is a premium black tea from India's renowned Margaret's Hope garden, harvested after the monsoon season for a distinctly complex cup. This autumnal blend delivers the depth and character that make Darjeeling one of the world's most sought-after black teas.
Steeped in a cup, this tea brews a beautiful coppery infusion with layers of muscatel (wine grape-like) notes, interwoven with sweet floral aromatics, hints of chocolate, and a subtle smoky undertone. The flavor profile is smooth and buttering, balanced by gentle astringency and a rich, nutty finish that lingers. Each sip reveals why this FTGFOP1-graded black tea stands apart—smaller leaf sizes create a stronger, more expressive brew.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Zum Zum Monsoon Harvest Darjeeling have caffeine?
Yes. Like all black teas, this blend contains caffeine—typically 40–70mg per 8oz cup depending on steep time. It's less than coffee but more than many green or white teas, making it ideal for a sustained energy boost.
What are the black tea benefits of this blend?
Black tea is rich in polyphenols and antioxidants. This Zum Zum selection offers the same wellness-supporting compounds found in quality black tea, supporting overall vitality and focus when enjoyed as part of a balanced lifestyle.
How much caffeine is in this black tea compared to others?
The caffeine content in black tea varies; this blend's smaller leaf size creates a stronger extraction, potentially yielding caffeine on the higher end of the black tea range. Adjust your steep time (shorter steeps = less caffeine) to suit your preference.
Is black tea good for you?
Black tea has been enjoyed for centuries and contains beneficial compounds. When brewed fresh and enjoyed in moderation, it can be a flavorful part of a healthy routine—especially a single-origin, quality-focused blend like this one.
