This quality is already blended in the country of origin from high quality garden teas. We selected teas from the medium and late first flush season, which are shipped directly to us. A medium-large, almost black leaf and a light brass colour of the infusion characterise this blend. The taste of this first flush blend leaves a fresh, slightly spicy impression with a little tartness, which is also reflected in the scent. Always a treat!
After the foundation of the garden in 1861, Ambootia firmly established its name in Darjeeling throughout the following decades. In 1987, after the takeover and reorganisation by the current owner, the garden moved up into the first league and has now been producing organically cultivated teas for more than 20 years. The estate covers an area of almost 1,000 hectares with 350 of them covered by tea. Ambootia literally means “place of the mango trees”. Multi-faceted spring harvest, nicely flowery and grassy with a truly well-balanced, full body.
In addition to our conventional classic, we are proud to offer a highly aromatic organic first flush leaf blend. While searching for well-balanced leaf qualities that also present a harmonious taste, we found the components for this blend made of selected crops, which result in a mild blend and form the perfect companion throughout the day. A wonderfully crafted tea presenting a fresh, slightly spicy character.
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. The cup's colour is the typical light copper of a tea of the late first flush period.
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 Linge that 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.
