Tea Farm

MAI TEA ESTATE

The tea garden is located in the easternmost part of Nepal near the village of Barbote, at an altitude of 1800 metres above sea level, and just a few kilometres from India’s Darjeeling region. The farm was established in 2001 and is a partner of the renowned Guranse Estate. Like Guranse, it places strong emphasis on upholding social standards, ensuring fair wages for its workers, and actively supporting farmers in nearby tea plantations – an approach that sets the estate apart from many others in Nepal and India. The farm was recently certified organic, and has avoided using chemical pesticides since its inception.

Character & Aroma

Tasting Notes

A wonderfully refined Nepalese black tea from the autumn monsoon harvest. The picking season of late July to early August still falls within the highland late summer, which has a unique impact on the flavour. Compared to Nepal Autumn Flush teas harvested in September or October, this one is pleasantly mild and, upon first encounter, even reminiscent of a First Flush black tea because of its delightfully floral and sweet bouquet. Once brewed, it displays a seasonally typical deep orange-red infusion and a mature, well-rounded flavour. Delicious notes of sun-dried tomato take centre stage, delicately wrapped in sweet muscatel aromas and a hint of fruitiness. The result is a complex highland black tea that glides smoothly over the palate.

For preparation, we recommend a water temperature between 80-90°C. Enthusiasts of teas with a subtle bitterness may prefer the higher end of this range, while a slightly cooler brew and longer steeping time will bring out more of the tea’s fruity character.

Black Tea

Black tea is the most oxidised form of tea. In contrast to green tea, the oxidation of the leaves after harvest and withering is not stopped with heat, but is instead encouraged by intensive rolling of the leaves, which breaks open cell walls and exposes the enzymes responsible for oxidation. These enzymes then react with oxygen in the air to form dark-colored compounds called flavonoids, causing the leaves to transition from green to black while developing their flavor and aroma. Black tea originates from China, where it is called Hong Cha, literally "red tea", after the glowing red-orange colour of the brew. The flavour of black teas vary considerably from light, sweet and fruity, to strong, malty and smoky, depending on where they are grown and the level of oxidation they undergo.

Yoshien Labortests

Laboratory Tests

We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs. All our teas are sourced directly from the farmer and, with a few exceptions, are certified organic or come from pesticide-free farms. Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements. Likewise, the regions of Japan from which we source our teas are tested for radioactivity for every harvest.

Cultivation & Processing

Special features in location, cultivation, and processing

The name of the tea “Andang” originates from the regional Limbu dialect and refers to a related oolong tea which, like this black tea, undergoes a relatively long oxidation process.

The tea fields of the farm are among the highest in the world, located in the remote mountains of eastern Nepal at altitudes ranging from 1400-2800m above sea level. Due to the elevation, the area has an optimally stimulating climate with significant temperature differences between day and night. The high levels of rainfall are balanced by the thorough drainage of the slopes. The harvested tea plants are between 10 and 30 years old and have been cultivated under optimal ecological conditions, in line with EU organic standards, without the use of chemical pesticides or artificial fertilisers.

Test results

We find it very important that our teas are pure and produced in a way that respects the environment. For this reason, each one of our teas is tested for pesticide residues by an independent laboratory, the results of which can be found here. Some of our teas are also tested for specific nutritional compounds, in which case the test results are also published here.
