Story

Risheehat tea estate, nestled in the picturesque Darjeeling hills, has a rich history. Originally known as Tshering Bagan, it was established by the British in the 1900s. The name “Tshering” was inspired by the local tribe of the same name. Later, it was rechristened as Risheehat, which translates to “Home of Holy Saints”. The estate’s serene surroundings evoke a sense of spiritual tranquility. Situated about 14 to 16 kilometers southeast of Darjeeling town, Risheehat offers breathtaking vistas of the mighty Himalayas.

The garden is divided into two major sections: Risheehat and Liza-Hill. The tea bushes thrive at an average elevation ranging from of 4500 feet above sea level, contributing to the unique flavor profiles of the teas produced here. It is one of the few tea gardens that has succeeded in achieving both quality and production volume using organic farming methods.

Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma

Hint of calisson with notes of mock orange & fresh-green undertones

Appearance

Taste

A light-bodied, brisk cup which starts with an aromatic intensity which overpowers your senses right from the start. From the first sip, the liquor releases beautiful bursts of mock orange which hum along throughout. Towards the middle, delectable accents of cantaloupe intermingled with carambola lends a nice, mellow character to the liquor. The finale is defined by rejuvenating floral tones akin to white orchids, making for a superlative experience of Spring chinary black teas this season.

YOU ASKED WE ANSWERED

What do you mean by Spring Chinary Black tea ?

By Chinary, we are referring to the tea plant - Camellia sinensis var. sinensis, from where the tea has been crafted.

Plucked after a period of dormancy from December to February, the teas made from Chinary cultivars have their own distinctive flavor profile.

The young leaves, filled with spring sap, are harvested during this March-May period, contributing to the tea's freshness and nuanced characteristics.

Does this tea contain caffeine?

Yes, Darjeeling Spring Chinary Black tea contains caffeine, though the levels are generally moderate compared to some other black teas.

It provides a natural energy boost without excessive stimulation.

What is the recommended steeping method for this tea?

1. Begin by heating water to around 185°F-194°F (85°C-90°C).
2. Place the recommended amount of tea leaves in a teapot or infuser.
3. Pour the hot water over the leaves
4. Let them steep for 4-5 minutes.
5. Strain and enjoy sipping.

Experimenting with steeping times will reveal different nuances in the tea, offering a personalized and enjoyable tasting experience.

Is this tea suitable for multiple infusions?

While we recommend sticking to the suggested number of steeps outlined in the steeping notes, the choice to experiment is entirely yours.

This tea lends itself wonderfully to multiple infusions, each revealing distinct layers of flavor.

1. To preserve the freshness and flavor of any tea, it is advisable to store them in an airtight container, shielding them from exposure to air.
