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.

The garden tea we currently offer is a Second Flush from the Ambootia estate. A First Flush garden tea will be available again soon.

The renowned Ambootia tea estate, nestled in the rugged foothills of the Himalayan Mountains, is famous for its organic teas. Ambootia transitioned to 100% organic and bio-dynamic production in 1992. It is certified organic by the renowned Institute of Market Ecology in Switzerland, and Fair Trade certified by Fairtrade Labeling Organizations International. It also carries the Naturland seal.

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.

Free sample teabag available on request from customerservice@bostonteacampaign.com.

We are pleased to inform you that a limited amount of Darjeeling Garden Tea is now available. Garden teas, which carry the exclusive labels of Darjeeling’s famous tea gardens, are especially precious and highly prized among tea lovers.

The Garden Tea we currently offer is from the Ambootia Estate. Ambootia is nestled in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains. The unique combination of climate and elevation give its teas a unique character.

Ambootia transitioned to 100% organic and biodynamic production in 1992. It is certified organic by the renowned Institute of Market Ecology in Switzerland, and it is Fair Trade certified by Fairtrade Labeling Organizations International.

Our Ambootia Garden Tea is a Second Flush. It produces an amber-gold liquor that is fuller and stronger in taste than First Flush.
