“Soom” means “The Triangle” in the language of the Lepcha and is a symbol of the Hindu goddess of wealth ... Seen from the mountaintops this plantation reminds of the letter “Y”.

This classic and highly aromatic first flush tea has a medium-sized, excellent leaf with light green tips. The plantation is famous for an amber coloured cup with a nutty, sweet and soft flavour. It is a tea of the highest quality..
Founded by the British in 1869 in the picturesque Mirik Valley on the border with Nepal, Seeyok Garden is also one of the oldest certified organic plantations in Darjeeling. Affectionately called ‘Swek’ by the locals, which translates as ‘at your service’, tea was cultivated here under organic guidelines for the first time in the region 30 years ago. Since then, many prizes and awards have been won, including the ‘Excellence at Origin Award’ for the best organically produced Darjeeling first flush in 2019. Ideal conditions such as the altitude of 1,100 - 1,800 metres, a good mix of sun and rain as well as very nutrient-rich soils form the basis for a wide range of unique tea qualities. The spring productions in particular often have very delicate floral aromas with slightly fruity green hints.
In the highlands of Darjeeling, these attractive organic consumer qualities are produced at the end of the second flush season. Selected lots have been used for this attractive leaf mixture: evenly worked, dark brown leaves with some tips yield a full-bodied, intense bouquet in the cup. A tea that can be consumed at any time of the day.
