Organic Turmeric
Gold Darjeeling
Second Flush

The slopes of the estate are ideal for cultivating tea as the plants can benefit from both the bracing climate at this high elevation as well as the rich sunlight.

The fresh tea leaves of the summer harvest (second flush) have a high moisture degree of 75% that evaporates during the strictly monitored withering process when air is blown between the leaves. The tea is machine-rolled to open up the leaves, expose the leaf juices, and thus facilitate fermentation. The tea is fermented for a longer period of time than first flush and takes place under constant supervision to ensure the full development of the flavour bouquet, which has a muscatel character. In the last stage the tea is fully dried in an oven for 25 minutes and hand-packed into tea crates.
