Rohini Monsoon Flush

AROMA

TASTE

A mellow cup, quite balanced and feels ample in the mouth. Delectable flavors of nectarine can be perceived at the start which subside to reveal clean notes of oak wood and wet earth which resonates throughout the length of the cup. Sweet-fruity undertones akin to dry apricot is discernible towards the finish. The quietly hidden floral aroma and assertive muscatel flavour are the hallmarks of this tea.

Baked goods and meat dishes.

Rohini Tea Estate was one of the largest tea gardens of Darjeeling. It was started by the British in and around 1880- records are not available as because of-

✓In 1962, the Chinese invaded India. During that time the Indian Army found it convenient to occupy large tracts of Rohini. The management of Rohini Tea Estate was forced to flee the estate, large areas of the plantation was uprooted.

✓In and around 31/10/1995, the estate was restarted.
✓From 1995 to 2006 around 275 acres of new clonal teas were planted in the lease land.

✓In 2001 the processing plant was commissioned.
✓In 2005 and in 2006 investments were made and 100% tea areas were brought under irrigation. 275 families have been provided permanent employment in the estate.

However, it is said that British settlers pioneered the area from the lowlands towards the highlands, and the Rohini Tea Estate, which belongs to the lowlands (above 700 m altitude) in Darjeeling, is considered one of the oldest Darjeeling tea estates in history.

The Rohini Tea Estate is passionate about perfecting its speciality teas by introducing new varieties and cultivating rare varieties. Despite the large area of tea plantation, the company enjoys producing small batches of high quality tea using small machinery. The Rohini Tea Estate is one of the most particular in Darjeeling, for example, the Japanese Yabukita white tea grown at the Rohini Tea Estate has a floral and luscious taste with Darjeeling terroir, making it a tea estate to keep an eye on.
