The Bukhial Tea Estate, founded in 1920, is situated in the Golaghat District on behalf of the McNeil and Berry Company. Workers and their families are all from the rural area of Bokotial. The name gradually changed to Bokial and a few years later finally to Bukhial. Today, this high quality Assam is cultivated on roughly 1,408 acres. One of the unique qualities of this tea is the rough and regularly grainy CTC (Crushing - Tearing - Curling). The cup color is reminiscent of dark teak tones, while the bright crimson infusion develops savory peat notes, and this brew is strong and displays a malty depth.
In addition to our conventional classic, we are proud to offer a highly aromatic organic first flush leaf blend. While searching for well-balanced leaf qualities that also present a harmonious taste, we found the components for this blend made of selected crops, which result in a mild blend and form the perfect companion throughout the day. A wonderfully crafted tea presenting a fresh, slightly spicy character.
In 1852, Steinthal was founded by the German priest Joachim Stoelke as the first tea garden in Darjeeling. It is very popular particularly in Europe, not only due to its history but also thanks to the excellent qualities which have been produced there over the years. Steinthal is probably the only tea garden in Darjeeling which still cultivates 100 % China plants. This is wonderfully reflected by the nicely worked, slightly twisted Sinensis leaf. The cup is full-bodied with a muscatel flavor and the infusion has a delicately flowery scent.
In memory of his prematurely deceased daughter Margaret, who had loved this garden very much, the proprietor Mr. Bagdon gave her name to the estate in the early 1930s. Plants of the Chinese type Thea Sinensis are almost exclusively cultivated on this estate. The slow growth of the shrubs at the cool, higher altitudes of the Himalayas forms the basis for high-grade and fully aromatic qualities! A sparkling, fragrant tea from the beginning of the second flush period with a full, amber-colored cup. The bouquet is aromatic, spicy and contains a hint of sweetness.
This blend is only composed of high-grade productions of various Darjeeling estates. A classic of our second flush assortment! Appearance: a medium, regular, dark Sinensis leaf with some tips. This second flush tea was blended in Darjeeling exclusively for us. The spicy taste and full aroma make this an uncommon but delightful cup of tea. The infusion of the Darjeeling Himalaya blend welcomes us with a bronze-colored cup and a harmoniously spicy flower!
