Now available: Ambootia Garden Tea

KF — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 15:32:39 +0000

Now available from our website:
Garden Tea, First Flush and Second Flush, 500g, Harvest 2007 from Ambootia.

Ambootia, in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains, is one of the most famous tea estates in Darjeeling. It was among the first tea gardens established by the British in the mid-19th century. At Ambootia, “tea is a way of nature.” In 1992, Ambootia transitioned to 100% certified organic and biodynamic production. In 1994, it became Fair Trade certified.

Organic cultivation contributes to environmental sustainability; it also creates a healthier environment for workers. “Our experience at Ambootia leaves no doubt … about the close association of organic and biodynamic farming, social welfare, and Fair Trade. It has developed a well-integrated, selfsustaining, ecologically balanced and economically viable community,” the workers at Ambootia agree.

New Harvest & Gourmet Teabags

KF — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 18:04:06 +0000

From the New Harvest, we offer four kinds of loose tea: First Flush, Second Flush, Ambootia Garden Tea and Green Darjeeling.

We still have some loose tea from the previous harvest available, now offered at a reduced price. This will be available while supplies last.

For the first time, we are offering teabags. True to our philosophy of selling tea in large packets to reduce costs, we have packed them in a beautiful box of 100 individually sealed sachets.

Our gourmet teabags contain 100% pure Darjeeling Black Tea, certified as “organic” by the Institute for Market Ecology in Switzerland. Larger than traditional teabags, they are especially designed to let the tea leaves (!) expand: they are made of a unique mesh-like material, with a cardboard handle that makes them easy to use in cups as well as in pots. (A traditional tea bag contains approx. 2 grams of “fannings”; ours contains 4 grams of Pure Darjeeling leaf tea.) To assure top quality, they are individually sealed.
