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.
A classical Assam from the second plucking period from one of the top tea estates of the region. For almost 100 years now, excellent teas have been produced here, just like our quality with its wiry, colorful leaf and the strong and spicy flavor with a rich, malty character. A real delicacy, either drunk pure or with Kluntje (rock sugar) and cream, like in Eastern Frisia. Should definitely form part of any upscale tea assortment.
After the foundation of the garden in 1861, Ambootia firmly established its name in Darjeeling throughout the following decades. In 1987, after the takeover and reorganisation by the current owner, the garden moved up into the first league and has now been producing organically cultivated teas for more than 20 years. 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”. Multi-faceted spring harvest, nicely flowery and grassy with a truly well-balanced, full body.
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.
