According to legend, this tea garden was founded in 1885 by Buddhist monks and originally carried the name “Sidrabong”. Today, the plantation is called Arya and produces almost exclusively organic varieties of first class at altitudes of 850 to 1,800 m.
The Monteviot Garden is located in the southern Kurseongvalley of Darjeeling and was founded in 1856..
The leaves have a beautiful Oolong look, aromatic and fresh with exquisite clonal notes..
This exquisite black tea quality from controlled organic cultivation comes from the South Korean volcanic island Jeju. The climatic conditions there, together with the nutrient-rich soil, offer ideal conditions for tea cultivation. In addition, only leaves are used that were plucked in the early morning hours at the beginning of May - and this care is worth it: the leaf is shiny black and slightly twisted, and the infusion has a wonderfully intense fragrance. In the cup the tea then convinces with a highly aromatic fullness; it tastes slightly spicy and bears a dominant sweetness, and proves that South Korea can also produce excellent black teas!
This Thyolo Moto from Malawi proves all too well that not only China can produce good smoked teas. But we can assure you: Anyone who thinks it is a copy of a Lapsang Souchong is wrong. For the Thyolo Moto, a significantly coarser, only partially oxidized black tea was used as a basis, and is then smoked over guava wood, which comes directly from the vicinity of the tea plantations. The result is a much more pleasant and milder smoke flavour than you might be used to from other smoked teas, which also leaves room for the slightly sweet and spicy note of the tea base. With good reason the Thyolo Moto has become this year’s bronze winner at the AVPA Paris!
