Tealeaves' Darjeeling SFTGFOP1 from the Ringtong Estate Tea Garden is a premium high-grown tea from the slope of Sonada about 16km from Darjeeling town. The teas are grown at an elevation of 1000 to 1700 meters above sea level. The Tea Garden was established in 1865 making it one of the oldest tea gardens in Darjeeling.
Type:
Black Tea – SFTGFOP1 (Super Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe 1), Medium Leaf
Caffeine Content:
Medium
Ingredients:
Darjeeling Black Tea (Ringtong Estate)
Origin:
Darjeeling, India
Tasting Notes:
-
Floral and fragrant: Delicate floral notes that give the tea a light, aromatic quality.
-
Fresh and lively: A bright, brisk character with a clean, refreshing finish.
-
Lightly fruity: Subtle hints of fresh fruit, sometimes reminiscent of green grapes or stone fruit.
-
Gently sweet: A soft, natural sweetness that balances its delicate astringency.
-
Light and smooth: A refined, fresh taste with a lighter body than many black teas and a pleasant, lingering finish.
Pairing Suggestions:
Unlike a robust Assam, Ringtong Estate First Flush is generally more delicate and nuanced. It is best enjoyed without milk, allowing its subtle aromas and distinctive spring character to shine.

Bulk discounts are available for 500g and 1kg options.
Tealeaves’ Darjeeling Ringtong Estate SFTGFOP1 for the refined, discerning tea lover who appreciates elegance, freshness and the finer details of a truly exceptional cup of tea.
