Tea for You - Tea Business

The Marybong Tea Estate is situated in the East Valley. This rather small garden produces top qualities every year on a cultivated area of approximately 285 hectares, at altitudes between 1,200 and 1,970 m. This is a well-balanced, aromatically sweet plucking featuring a certain "body" with some strength. The leaves are smaller, fine, and dark with green parts and bright tips. The cup's colour is the typical light copper of a tea of the late first flush period.

Singell is one of the oldest tea plantations among the approximately 70 tea gardens in Darjeeling. The plantation has been producing teas from controlled organic cultivation since the mid-80s. The infusion has the bright bronze colour, which is typical of Darjeeling teas from the second plucking period. The regular, short leaf is procesed very carefully and has many silvery tips. The full and very aromatic second flush fascinates with its soft and velvety muscatel flavour.

The tea plantation Makaibari was founded in 1859 and belongs today to the oldest tea plantations in Darjeeling. This garden is renowned for having been the first garden worldwide to consistently practice biodynamic cultivation. The traditional knowledge of Ayurverda is combined with the ideas and practices of biodynamic cultivation methods. Its dark, golden-brown, typical Sinensis leaf with many silvery tips characterises our top-class second flush Darjeeling. The red and golden cup colour and the bright green infusion develop a full, soft and aromatic taste.

Here you have the proof: decaffeinated tea does not have to taste boring! This Darjeeling of highest quality still has its characteristic attributes after the decaffeination. Our Darjeeling TGFOP, with its medium-dark, fine leaf and its silvery tips convinces you with its mild taste and tender, aromatic bouquet. The light copper-coloured cup has a pleasent scent and is glowing.

DECAFFEINATED!!!

This tea comes from a small tea plantation, located near the Nepalese border. It offers flowery and rather soft teas thanks to its high portion of Sinensis leaves growing at altitudes of up to 1,848 m. The name Lingia is derived from the word Lin-ge that in the language of the Lepcha means "triangle of eight mountain tops". This garden was founded about 140 years ago. Our quality delights with a light golden infusion and a small, semi-dark Sinensis leaf completed by green tips. The taste is soft and flowery with an aromatic and round scent.

"Soom” means "The Triangle” in the language of the Lepcha and is a symbol of the Hindu goddess of wealth ... Seen from the mountaintops this plantation reminds of the the letter "Y”. This tea garden was founded more than 120 years ago. Only pure Chinese plants and Chinese hybrids grow at the higher altitudes. This classic and highly aromatic "first flush” tea has a medium-sized, excellent leaf with light green tips. The plantation is famous for an amber coloured cup with a nutty, sweet and soft flavour. It is a tea of the highest quality.

This well-known garden was founded in 1886 and is also called "Silbung" in the local language. Selimbong is well known for second flush production of prime quaility and has also been awarded many prizes. We have chosen a wonderful quality from the second plucking period which is reflected in the leaf and the taste: a completely even and dark Sinensis leaf with lots of silvery white tips, a shining copper-coloured cup, and a taste that is highly aromatic, spicy, with a soft, flowery flavour!

This plantation has a surface of more than 400 hectares and is located near the Kachenjunga mountain range. During the winter vegetation break, the plants, cultivated at altitudes of between 1,400 and 2,400 m, find their energy to convince us, as every year, of thwir extraordinary first and second flush qualities. The leaves are large and regular with a classical, beautiful first flush appearance and large portions of silvery tips. With a very flowery and spicy character of its own and a sweet body, this tea has a highly aromatic scent. The infusion is a very bright orange.
