You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If you want the very best, you should look into the tea sources I mentioned in this answer about Earl Grey:

If you explore the sites, you can find the Darjeeling selections, such as here:

Darjeeling tea is classified in several different ways: by flush, by grade (leaf size and quality), and by estate or tea garden. You may be able to buy tea of the same flush, grade, and estate from different tea companies.

If you want to learn more about Darjeeling black tea, this page has a good overview and also lists numerous different brands which sell Darjeeling tea, and offers reviews of some:

If you're interested in the grading system for black teas (including Darjeeling), here is a page on the grades of tea (OP, TGFOP1, etc.):

The Darjeeling region of India also produces other teas, besides black tea. Although they're not common, they've been growing in popularity. You can read about this, and also about similar, neighboring regions in India and Nepal, on this page about the Darjeeling region:

I hope this is helpful!
