Darjeeling
达尔杰林镇位于印度东北部,源自藏语 dojeling “钻石岛”,指的是金刚乘佛教(字面意思是“钻石之车”)的所在地。这个“岛”是该地区高地的意思。作为一种茶叶,最早见于1862年。
The first trial of the tea plant at Darjeeling was made in 1841, with a few seeds grown in Kumaon from China stock. It was quite successful as to its growth, and the quality was approved of by the Assam tea planter who visited Darjeeling in 1846, and made the first tea here. The original plants are now to be seen. All are of gigantic size; one is a bush 50 feet in circumference and 20 feet high. [list of contributions from British India at the New Zealand Exhibition of 1865]
第一次在达尔杰林试种茶树是在1841年,用从中国引进的种子在库玛翁种植。它的生长非常成功,品质也得到了1846年访问达尔杰林的阿萨姆茶园种植者的认可,他在这里制作了第一批茶叶。现在可以看到原始的植物,它们都是巨大的; 其中一棵灌木的周长达50英尺,高达20英尺。[来自1865年新西兰展览会的英属印度贡献清单]
