Story

Originally known as Rangdoo Estate, Okayti carries a legacy that harks back to the era when India’s finest teas were showcased at the prestigious London tea auctions.

As the story goes, when the auctioneers in London tasted the teas from Rangdoo, they declared it “OK,” a simple yet powerful endorsement that led to the estate being fondly renamed “Okayti.” Since then, Okayti has become synonymous with exceptional quality and timeless Darjeeling character.

Nestled in the enchanting hills of Mirik Valley, Darjeeling, Okayti was planted in the early 1870s. Grown at elevations ranging from 4,000 to 6,200 feet above sea level, its spring teas embody a rare elegance and finesse that continue to captivate the most discerning tea drinkers.

Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma

Delicate vegetal notes along with hints of cantaloupe and orchids

Appearance

Bright gold

Taste

Elegant and light-bodied, this cup embodies the signature finesse of Okayti’s spring harvest.

It opens with a crisp vegetal note—reminiscent of tender spring greens—then gracefully unfolds into mellow, juicy hints of cantaloupe at the heart. Silken floral whispers of white orchids drift across the palate, while a subtle undercurrent of raw mango lingers through the finish.

Smooth, refined, and delightfully refreshing, this tea captures the essence of Darjeeling craftsmanship in full bloom.

Better than ok

I think this tea getters more favorable the longer it has been open. I’m drinking it right now and I love the flavor. It is a subtle Darjeeling but better than ok in my opinion. I drink a lot of 1st flush Darjeeling. I’ve also been very happy with the teas (1st flush Darjeeling) 😊
