Darjeeling Tea: India's wonder drink

According to IndiaTeaPortal.com,

Darjeeling tea is unique in every aspect. The unique combination of climate, elevation, and the quality of the soil and air make Darjeeling teas unlike any other tea. A major part of the annual production of Darjeeling tea is exported.

The site also goes on to say that, 80% of the entire production is exported and that West Bengal is the major market for domestic sales.

Now the question is, how do I get my hands on Darjeeling tea :)

I have also noticed an ad by Girnar Tea in the latest edition of Reader's Digest. Worth checking their web site though (annual revenues of Rs 150 crores..assuming I counted the zeros correctly :) )
