Single Estate Teas
Tea is a bit like wine. Most tea is blended, and that's great. It's a way to achieve consistently good results from a natural and variable crop.
But there is an alternative. You can try to find a Single Estate tea. That is a rather different matter. With Single Estates, you come to recognise and appreciate the subtle differences that occur from year to year, from month to month, and between different estates.
These are teas for the real connoisseur, the tea-lover who is prepared to take a bit of a risk and go beyond the standardised blends in search of their personal favourites. It's an adventure - and we're with you every step of the way.
The Harmutty Estate in Assam, in the Brahamputra Valley in Northern India, is in many ways typical of the quality Assams. Strong, rich and malty but with an elegance and restraint that is by no means universal among the Assam teas, Harmutty is a connoisseur's Assam.
