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 of 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”. Multifaceted spring harvest, nicely flowery-grassy with a truly well-balanced, full body.

This quality is already blended in the country of origin from high-quality garden teas. We have selected teas from the medium and late first flush season. This blend is characterized by a medium-large, almost black leaf and a light brass color of the infusion. The taste of this first flush blend leaves a fresh, slightly spicy impression with a little "body", which is also reflected in the scent. Always a treat!

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 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.
