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.

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”.
