About this tea

Pussimbing is more than a century old and is a classic Darjeeling tea estate where river streams and springs flow through wilderness. The tea gardens are shrouded and shaded under high mountain mists all year round. Pussimbing Estate consistently produces some of the most prestigious organic teas in Darjeeling from its steep and sloping valley gardens. Pussimbing has been certified organic since 1994.

The tea gardens of the estate have biodiversity and rich soil structures that nourish bold and aromatic teas. Some vintages have rich muscatel and ripeness, and others exude a characteristic minty and spicy note found in their second flush lots.

Legend remarks that a monk named Pasang found abundant water springs and tea in Pussimbing. In the local Lepcha language, Pussimbing means "the source of water." The place where the monk discovered the spring on Pussimbing was called Mingoo (“valley hidden in the fog”).

Nowadays, Mingoo is one of the famous garden divisions on the Pussimbing Estate. The tea gardens of Pussimbing Estate are located in the Tiger Hill region of Darjeeling which has a panoramic view of Mount Everest and Mount Kanchenjunga. The high mountain energy and character shine in this tea.
