This tea comes from a small tea plantation, located near the Nepalese border. It offers flowery and rather soft teas thanks to its high portion of Sinensis leaves growing at altitudes of up to 1,848 m. The name Lingia is derived from the word Lin-ge which, in the language of the Lepcha, means "triangle of eight mountain tops". This garden was founded about 140 years ago. Our quality delights with a light golden infusion and a small, semi dark Sinensis leaf completed by green tips. The taste is soft and flowery with an aromatic and round scent.

This tea has curly leaves with green portions, which is typical of the Souchong rolled leaf processing which is mainly found in northern Indian teas. Its very strong flavour will highly please Darjeeling admirers ═ even in case of poor water quality. The Sungma Tea Estate is located in the Rung Bong Valley. Here, tea plants are cultivated at altitudes of between 1,420 and 2,360 m above sea level on an area of approximately 281 hectares. This dark and light green Broken Pekoe Souchong delights us with its reddish gold shimmering colour. It has a strong and spicy taste and scent.

This well-known garden was founded in 1886 and is also called "Silbung" in the local language. Selimbong is well known for second flush production of prime quality and has also been awarded many prizes. We have chosen a wonderful quality from the second plucking period which is reflected in the leaf and the taste: a completely even and dark Sinensis leaf with lots of silvery white tips, a shining copper-coloured cup, and a taste that is highly aromatic, spicy, with a soft, flowery flavour!

This quality does not only enchant us by its bright, amber-coloured cup but surprises us with its highly aromatic and spicy taste with a very pleasant muscatel note. The flowery bouquet reflects the taste. A real "nose-catcher"!

The Marybong Tea Estate is situated in the East Valley. This rather small garden produces top qualities every year on a cultivated area of approx. 285 hectares, at altitudes between 1,200 and 1,970 m. This is a well-balanced, aromatically sweet plucking featuring a certain "body" with some strength. The leaves are smaller, fine, and dark with green parts and bright tips.
