Steinthal not only produces excellent first and second flush qualities, it also impresses with its highly sought-after green teas. The exceptional altitudes, which offer a breath-taking view of the Himalaya, ensure ideal preconditions for producing excellent green teas. The olive-green leaf shows some tips and the citrus-coloured cup shines brightly with fresh, mellow flavours. The typically grassy tanginess remains very subtly in the background.
Liza Hill is located just 14 km east of the centre of Darjeeling and, looking closely, it is not really an independent tea garden, but rather a premium section of the Risheehat plantation. Approximately 60% of the tea shrubs are China plants and 20% each are Assam hybrids and other clonals. Some of the very finest black and green teas as well as a rare few, high quality semi-oxidized qualities are grown here on the many steep slopes. In particular, the flowery, delicately aromatic and spicy Oolongs are much sought after and therefore achieve highest prices in the auctions.
Himalayan Green – green tea, yet again something different. The leaf structure is of a striking matt, reed-green colour with a slightly frizzled, rolled leaf form, and scattered, silvery tips. Very nicely handcrafted. The cup is a shining honey colour and develops an intensely fruity, aromatic bouquet with the slightly grassy tartness so typical for green teas.
With a heavy heart and after many successful years, we now had to say goodbye to our Antu Valley in order to be able to offer you an organically grown variety. This tea from the Guranse Tea Estate is a worthy successor and cultivated at altitudes of up to 2,100 m. The leaf is rolled somewhat tighter, the colour dark green with silvery tips. The characteristic taste of the precursor is even more expressive in this variety. Mild and smooth with a delicate grassy flavour which reminds of Japanese teas. A gentle character with lively facets..
On the way from Colombo to the high plateau of Nuwara Eliya we pass the Pussellawa Valley in which the Melfort Tea Estate, founded in 1914, is located. Since 2004, exceptional green teas have been produced in a very modern production facility based on the exclusive use of Chinese plants. Our quality impresses with a matt, olive-coloured, rough and open rolled leaf, which reminds of traditional Chinese tea art. The infusion is freshly scented, fruity and spicy. The golden, glowing cup receives us with a spicy, strong bouquet with a full body and a slight tartness. A tea, which will meet the expectation of any green tea lover thanks to its exceptional quality!
