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.
The Happy Valley Teas Estate is located approximately 2 miles (3 km) from the city of Darjeeling. At an altitude of 9,000 feet (2.750 m), this garden is close to 270 acres (111 hectares). From April to November, visitors have the possibility to watch the people who pluck the tea leaves and to learn about the processing of tea. We offer a pure-grade blend of first and second flush leaf teas, which is blended in Darjeeling exclusively for us. It is highly aromatic with a full and shining cup color. The leaf is medium-sized and regular with bright tips.
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 tea 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!
For years now, this small tea farm located in the south of Darjeeling has been producing quality teas that are known all over the world. This tea garden is a classic for connoisseurs and lovers of excellent second flush tea. The shining amber-colored cup is absolutely beautiful! The dark and excellent Sinensis leaf and the silvery tips show the careful plucking by excellently trained personnel. The taste is aromatic, elegant and soft with mild and subtle flavors.
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.
