This tea has curly leaves with green portions, which is typical of the Souchong rolled leaf processing and is mainly found in northern Indian teas. Its very strong flavour will highly please Darjeeling admirers – even in case of poor water quality. The Sungma Tea Estate is located in the Rungbong Valley. Here, tea plants are cultivated at altitudes of between 1,420 and 2,360 m above sea level on an area of approximately 281 hectares. This dark and light green Broken Pekoe Souchong delights us with its reddish gold shimmering colour. It has a strong and spicy taste and scent.

A few weeks after the summer monsoon and shortly before the onset of the winter season, the sun allows the tea to become fully aromatic, yet mild. In the annual search for top autumnal varieties, we would like to recommend this marvellous autumnal plucking: the leaf is medium-sized, regular with rougher brown and green parts. The infusion is a dark amber colour typical for teas of this time of year. The tea is aromatic and mild with a spicy taste and scent.

This famous garden brings us a tea of the first plucking period in April that shows a typical large, fleshy leaf, with a light brown appearance and light silvery leaf tips. It is fresh and full in taste, with a spicy note. The bouquet is crisp, flowery and slightly malty. The infusion is brighter than that of a typical second flush Assam.

A nicely priced, good consumer quality for daily use. We blend this Assam leaf blend in our facilities using select Assam qualities that are chosen from different tea plantations in the country of origin. The infusion of these black, well-processed leaves with light tips is strong and dark and has an earthy, spicy taste and a malty note. The scent is spicy and strong.

Right towards the end of the harvest, at the end of August, any surplus teas are offered at very attractive conditions. However, we don’t simply care for the price, rather, we especially look for teas with an expressive, long, black leaf, a medium, copper-coloured cup and a slightly spicy, malty character. Ideal for beginners and price-sensitive tea drinkers.
