The tea garden Avongrove located in the Rungbong Valley is surrounded by dense forests and has a picturesque view of the Balasun River. Very nice, organically cultivated teas are produced at altitudes of up to 1,800 m. A large portion of China and China Clonal shrubs form their base and yield fresh and slightly flowery qualities in spring as well as stronger, aromatic qualities in the summer months. We have selected a lot from the second plucking period, which has a slightly open leaf, is a bit rougher in structure and has silvery tips. Besides its aromatic base character, the brewed tea surprises with flowery notes and light Clonal hints. This flavour composition is reflected in the shining infusion.
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.
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!
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!.
Like Steinthal, Singtom was also planted around 1854-1860 by the German priest Joachim Stölcke and is therefore one of the oldest gardens in Darjeeling. Fully certified organic since 2001, the 650 acre tea plantation today consists of approx. 90% original Chinese bushes and 10% clones. The factory itself was completely renovated and extensively modernised in 2004 in order to meet the constantly growing production requirements. D&B has been importing an extensive selection of various teas from all harvest periods for many years now and is very satisfied with the work of this garden. Singtom teas are always characterised by a highly aromatic and full-bodied character with subtle floral to spicy aroma notes.
