Our ex-teapig Alex, aka The Foodish Boy, recently spent some time in Darjeeling picking the finest first flush tea in his bid to work 52 food jobs in a year across 20 countries. If you ever wondered where the lovely whole leaf tea that fills our tea temples comes from then look no further than the pics above!
