There are very few large organic tea estates in Assam, and Tonganagaon is one of them. This excellent example of an Assam tea is wonderfully well-rounded and has the typical malty, slightly spicy flavour one would expect from a high quality Assam but at the same time it is mild and harmonious in the cup, with a hint of dark honey.
This wonderful organic black tea, Sikkim 2. Flush Temi FTGFOP1, comes from the former Himalayan kingdom and today a small Indian state, which lies nestled between Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and lush valleys, Sikkim is a land of unspoiled nature and deep-rooted traditions. Remarkably, Sikkim was the first Indian state to convert its entire agriculture to certified organic cultivation – a commitment that to quality and sustainability that is also reflected in its exceptional tea.
The second flush black tea from Sikkim is a hidden gem for connoisseurs. Much like its famous neighbour Darjeeling, Sikkim’s teas grow at high altitudes, where the cool mountain air slows the growth of the leaves and intensifies their aroma. Yet while it shares the floral elegance and delicate complexity of a fine Darjeeling Second Flush, Sikkim tea also brings an extra dimension: more body, more depth, and a rounded fullness in the cup.
The best-known tea estate in Sikkim is Temi Tea Garden, founded in the 1960s under the last king of Sikkim. To this day, the garden continues to produce teas of outstanding quality, combining traditional tea processing techniques with more modern organic cultivation methods. Every sip of Sikkim 2. Flush Temi reveals hints of the unique terroir that produces it: vibrant, floral, and powerful, with a lingering sweetness.
Sikkim Black Tea is not just a delicious alternative to a good second flush Darjeeling; it is a rare jewel from the highlands of the Himalaya, a tea that embodies purity, elegance and strength in perfect balance.
