The Happy Valley Tea Estate is located approximately 3 km from the city of Darjeeling. Situated at altitudes of up to 2,100 m, this tea garden covers an area of 111 hectares. From April to November, visitors have the opportunity to observe the tea leaf plucking process and learn about tea processing. We offer a pure-grade blend of second flush leaf tea, specially blended for us in the country of origin. It is highly aromatic with a full and vibrant cup. The leaves are medium-sized and regular, with bright tips.
In 1852, Steinthal was founded by the German priest Joachim Stoelke as the first tea garden in Darjeeling. It is very popular particularly in Europe, not only due to its history but also thanks to the excellent qualities which have been produced there over the years. Steinthal is probably the only tea garden in Darjeeling which still cultivates 100% China plants. This is wonderfully reflected by the nicely worked, slightly twisted Sinensis leaf. The cup is full-bodied with a muscatel flavour and the infusion has a delicately flowery scent..
In memory of his prematurely deceased daughter Margaret, who had loved this garden very much, the proprietor Mr. Bagdon gave her name to the plantation in the early 1930s. Plants of the Chinese type Thea Sinensis are almost exclusively cultivated on this plantation. The slow growth of the shrubs at the cool, higher altitudes of the Himalaya forms the basis for high-grade and fully aromatic qualities! A crisp, fully aromatic tea from the beginning of the second flush period with a full amber-coloured cup. The bouquet is aromatic, spicy and a bit sweet.
The tea garden Monteviot produces not only excellent qualities during the first picking period, but also wonderful second flush qualities. This finely worked broken tea from organic cultivation was produced following traditional methods and delights us with a full-bodied, strong cup with a slightly spicy aftertaste. Perfect for tea lovers who are looking for a typical, ripe, summer Darjeeling!
This plantation was co-founded by a German missionary and manufactures leaf teas of excellent quality, which grow at altitudes of between 980 and 2,050 m on 257 hectares of pure cultivation area. We are proud to offer this excellent quality: this tea presents a regular Sinensis leaf with silvery tips. 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. It is worth an affaire!
