Taste
Nestled amidst the Himalayas in North East India, the Temi tea garden, founded by the Government of Sikkim in 1969, is renowned for its exceptional teas and the captivating beauty that surrounds it.

This season's cup, medium-bodied and brimming with life, caresses the palate with an ample embrace that beckons the senses. Stone-fruits intermingle with peachy sweetness, crafting a captivating flavor tapestry from the first sip. Subtle muskiness and cedar undertones add depth, echoing stories of the very earth from which these leaves unfurl.

A lively crescendo emerges, carrying the essence of red berries, culminating in Temi's rich terroir symphony—an echo of the land's organic spirit and nurturing craftsmanship.

The tea I got...

The tea I got this time was muddy in colour, not the clear golden brown of Temi.

The fresh tea from the garden of Sikkim for a refreshing morning.

This Sikkim Temi Summer Muscatel black tea is reasonably excellent in taste but the flavour is quite mild,however I am satisfied with the overall quality of the tea within a budget

Lovely tea, would recommend

This is a lovely tea, taste perfectly as described. For me it is a little too vegetal in taste (personal preference only!), hence 4 stars. Beautiful leaves and makes beautiful cup!

Tea for connoisseurs

i live in a hill station and my family and i love a good cup of tea the thing is that at first i did not think much of it but then later realised i was not brewing the tea in right proportion and right temperature and that really matters.
This tea is fantastic black and it will help you get away from the routine teas we usually drink.

This year Temi is even better than last year

Muscatels in my opinion are a bit of hit and miss stuff. So each year I wait with baited breath and try teas from multiple estate to settle on my favorites for the year. The Temi surprised me this year. It was one of favorites last year. This year around it’s even better. Definitely a very nice aroma and flavor that lingers long after the cup has nothing left. Here is a tea which is splendid and more than competes with its peers from Darjeeling.
