Kalkutta
Kolkata (W3)

"Calcutta" is an Anglicized version of "Kalikata". According to some, "Kalikata" is derived from the Bengali word "Kalikshetra", meaning "Ground of (the goddess) Kali". Some say the city's name derives from the location of its original settlement on the bank of a "canal" ("khal"). A third opinion traces it to the Bengali words for "lime" ("kali") and "burnt shell" ("kata"), since the area was noted for the manufacture of shell-lime. Still another opinion is that the name is derived from the Bengali term "kilkila" (meaning, "flat area"), which is mentioned in the old literature. Maybe the name springs from the fact that being the home of the "Kol" tribe known as "Kolka Hota".

Darjeeling

Im Norden Indiens, an den Südhängen des Himalayas, liegen um die Stadt Darjeeling viele Teegärten, in Höhenlagen bis über 2.000 Meter.

Dort wird der nach der Stadt benannte Darjeeling-Tee angebaut.

Er gilt als der edelste unter den schwarzen Tees und wird auch gerne als der "Champagner unter den Tees" bezeichnet.

Je nach Höhenlage, Bodenbeschaffenheit und Pflanzentyp produziert jeder Teegarten einen Tee mit ganz eigenem Charakter.

West Bengal (W3)

"Bengali" "Land of the Bengalis". The word "Bengal" derives ultimately from Sanskrit "Vanga", an area that currently falls largely in eastern India and Bangladesh. Persian, Hindi, and Bengali derived "Bangâlah", "Bangâl" and "Bânglâ", respectively, from the Sanskrit original. The term "West Bengal" originated after the Partition of Bengal province in 1905, when the colonial administration set up the two separate provinces of "West Bengal" and "East Bengal". Though the Partition was annulled in 1911, Bengal was again partitioned in 1947 along religious lines. The Western part of the province became a state of India known as "West Bengal" while "East Bengal" became a part of the new nation of Pakistan and was renamed "East Pakistan" in 1955. It attained independence from Pakistan as the new nation of "Bangladesh" in 1971.
