Another vintage autumnal offering from the famed Goomtee tea plantation. With a slightly sweet flavour and a dark red (coppery) colour liquor, this tea provides us with a unique Autumnal taste. The jet black coloured leaves give a spicy taste that is unique to the Kurseong valley region of the Darjeeling hills. A great tea to accompany the meals.
Gomtee Tea Estate is a beautiful garden located between Jungpana to the East and Castleton to the West with a glorious past consisting of multiple owners. Henry Lennox, a British pioneer, was the first to start planting teas in this garden back in 1899. Darjeeling Tea from Goomtee, is processed in the traditional “Orthodox” way – breed and harvested at an altitude of over 4500 ft combined with excellent harvesting methods, this has ensured quality of pure china tea leaf. These distinguished teas are often sold marketed as Muscatel Valley teas.
