Description
Blender’s Notes Indian Creek:
A blend of Black Tea from India! This combination features teas from three different areas of India!
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.
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.
