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 estate. 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-oxidised 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.
