| According to ancient recordings, this garden was founded in 1865 by Buddhist monks and was christened "Sidrabong". Its current name "ARYA" means "high esteem". The plantation is situated close to the city of Darjeeling and produces high quality black and green teas as well as limited amounts of white and Oolong specialties at an altitude of up to 1,800 m. The production of green Jasmine teas like the one we are presenting here has started only recently using traditional methods. The green, well-worked leaf unfolds a clear and strong character with a flowery flavor in the cup, which is unmistakable: Jasmine! |
