For years, this small tea estate from the Eastern Assam Valley has produced very nice, organic qualities. The Tonganagaon Estate is located at the edge of the Namdapha natural reserve, which is known worldwide for its biodiversity. A delicate leaf structure with golden tips and an infusion which impresses with its smooth, expressive bouquet and a spicy aroma with malty touches. The copper tone infusion is reflected in the cup.
When looking for a fine tea from the south of India, we found the garden Thiashola. Their production of this high quality tea impressed us with its fresh, slightly sharp-edged flavor and with its refined body. It is reminiscent of the season’s first plucking of Assam and Dooars, a multi-colored, uneven leaf with green spots. The cup color is copper-red with a floral scent.
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.
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.
