Black Tea is known to banish fatigue, stimulate mental powers, and raise energy levels. It has been shown to reduce stress hormone levels and acts as a nerve sedative, frequently relieving headaches. Black tea contains a number of vitamins considered essential for maintaining health, including Carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, has antioxidant and protective properties, Vitamin B1 and Panothenic Acid, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6.
Black Tea also contains antioxidants which may help to protect your body from the ravages of aging and environmental effects. Because they are allowed to ferment completely before drying, most black teas are especially rich in those polyphenols which have been shown to be effective against dementia in aging as well as AIDS related dementia. These compounds penetrate the blood brain barrier and have also been found to reduce blood cholesterol levels.
Black tea is known for its antiviral and antibacterial properties. It can be topically applied to cuts, bruises and burns, and is famous for its sunburn relief and has been shown to have a positive effect on preventing tooth decay and gum disease.

New Moon Darjeeling was my first introduction to darjeeling tea and fortunately for me, or unfortunately for other tea companies, I will never have any other. This tea is truly amazing. It is both aromatic and has a smooth and clean feeling on your palate. I am so glad I found this tea!

This tea is truly incredible. It was also my first darjeeling tea, and I really didn't have an idea of what to expect. The first time I tried it, I knew it was amazing. There's almost no way to describe it. It almost tastes like the tea has been very lightly smoked, sort of, but it is very mild and smooth, and has tons of subtle flavors going on. I may not be able to describe the flavor, but I know it's my new favorite black tea!

Bright and well-balanced tea that gently offers up a variety of subtle flavors. Unlike other Darjeelings that I've encountered this tea is not as astringent and the tannins don't dominate the finish. Recommended steeping = 2 mins. And re-infuse of course!

A great 2nd flush Darjeeling that yielded 3 solid infusions the first time that I tried this. Nothing super fancy here... just great quality, whole-leaf tea that yields a bright flavor profile, a smooth finish, and a beautiful golden hue. Quick, short infusions of less than 2 minutes worked well for me.

I like this tea. Darjeelings usually leave my mouth feeling dry, but this one doesn't, it's really easy to drink, and you can tell it's a very pure tea.

I love the freshness of the leaves in this tea. They look fresh picked in my steeping mug, and open up way more than any other Darjeeling I've tried. And Oh...the tea tastes great too! Thank you to The Tea Spot!

Peachy, delicate and subtly crisp. Well balanced. I've recommended it to my friends and family who like high-end teas.

lightly fruity and even a little nutty edge in the flavor. Very interesting, yet subtle. I'd agree that it doesn't scorch your mouth like some other Darjeelings would. But what does the "new moon" mean, I wonder?

"Death by Darjeeling" Chocolate Cake
For this cake, there are so few ingredients and the flavors are very pronounced, so try to use the highest quality chocolate, Darjeeling, and butter available.
INGREDIENTS:
½ cup Darjeeling tea concentrate: brew 3 teaspoons Darjeeling tea leaves in ½ cup boiling water for 4 minutes
100g dark chocolate. Amongst the best are the single plantation Michel Cluizel "Ilha Toma" bar or Valhrona "Grand Cru"
½ cup butter
3 eggs, at room temperature and separated
1 cup sugar
pinch of salt
¾ cup flour, sifted
½ cup whipping cream.
PREPARATION: Preheat oven to 350° F. Melt the chocolate and butter in the tea concentrate in a double boiler. Let cool slightly. Cream the egg yolks with the sugar. Mix in the flour and salt. Gently blend in the chocolate mixture. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold carefully into the batter. Bake for 30+ minutes, or until done. It is best to use a flexible rubber cake pan for baking chocolate, as they are easiest to unmold (like the Llorente flexible cake pan, available at the Peppercorn). The cake should be slightly moist in the center. Serve with freshly whipped cream. It goes well, naturally, with Darjeeling. We also enjoy it with Marsala wine, which with its warm, complex flavors pairs beautifully with baked chocolate desserts. Serves 8–10
