Poobong Tea Garden is situated in the Eastern Valleys of Darjeeling at 5000 feet above sea level. Poobong in Lepcha dialect translates to the valley of 'po' or 'bamboo'. Established during 1860-1864 amongst misty landscapes and scenic pine forests, the 166 hectares of Poobong are laden with China and Assam Hybrid tea buses. Only 3.5 km away from the little town of Ghoom, Poobong is blessed with a multitude of Himalayan fauna, flora, and many native Medicinal plants. A south and east facing garden, Poobong is certified under Rainforest Alliance and 'organic tea producer' by the IMO and presently produces top notch black teas in the region. Recently, Poobong has been striving for complete conversion into a bio-organic garden.

DRY LEAF
Dark forest well curled leaves offset by fresh leaves and silvery tips exhale a ivies and a sweet toasty undertone of milk chocolates.

INFUSION
Substantial crimpy leaves with numerous internodes in an olive sheen with wholesome vegetal freshness of snap beans and tender bamboo.

LIQUOR
Golden liquor scented with fresh floral subtleties of lilies and tender bamboo evokes a sprightly body of herbaceous sweet asparagus enlivened by a rounded honey tone that keeps up the smoothness till the end for a gentle mellow finish.
