There are only two things you have to keep in mind when you are after freshness, one is the quality of each leaf you are brewing and two, is how you can retain its freshness given the various conditions from packaging to transporting it. And the only way to test its freshness is in the aroma and taste every time you brew our Darjeeling tea.

There is no need to doubt the quality because at DarjeelingTeaXpress that is our standard! To prevent the tea leaves from losing its freshness as it travel through land, air and sea we have invested in a very special packaging system. The Vacuum Packaging (Aroma Seal packing) seals the aroma and freshness from the tea fields of Darjeeling, India into every cup you enjoy.

What is Vacuum Packaging?

In case you are not aware, it is the presence of oxygen in our food that attracts buildup of yeast, mold and bacteria. Without oxygen these microorganisms will not survive. So at DarjeelingTeaXpress we package our fresh leaves in the absence of oxygen using the state of the art Vacuum Seal Packaging. This process literally sucks out the air out to slow down its deterioration.

Advantages of Vacuum Packaging

There are a number of things that vacuum packaging does:

• Shelf life of Darjeeling Tea becomes prolonged retaining its freshness at a longer period of time.

• The tea leaves lose its contact with the atmosphere once it is vacuumed and all the bacteria are destroyed, preserving the aroma and freshness of every leaf.

• Absence of moisture insures quality.

• Vacuum packaging allows customization of tea leaves according to the customer’s needs.

• Pilferage free.

The only way to prove these claims is to try and savor the aroma and taste of our Darjeeling tea. All our 100 gram packs and above are in vacuum packing.
