Experience a tea steeped in history and craftsmanship. Established in 1852, Steinthal was the first tea garden in Darjeeling and remains renowned for producing exceptional teas from 100% original Chinese Camellia sinensis plants. The result is a distinctive Darjeeling that showcases the elegance and character that have made the region famous worldwide.
This carefully crafted tea brews a bright amber cup with a smooth body, delicate floral aromas, and the classic muscatel notes that Darjeeling enthusiasts treasure. The slightly twisted leaves unfurl into a refined and complex infusion that is both uplifting and sophisticated.
