Darjeeling Badamtam Spring Moonlight White (Limited Edition)

Nestled in the tranquil Lebong Valley of Darjeeling, the Badamtam tea estate is a sanctuary of natural beauty and rich heritage. Established in 1858 by British planter Christine Barnes, the estate’s name is believed to originate from a Lepcha word meaning “bamboo water carrier,” symbolizing its deep cultural roots. From its gently undulating hills, one is treated to sweeping views of the snow-capped Mt. Kanchenjunga, especially glorious at sunrise when the peaks glow with golden light. The Rangeet and Majhitar rivers carve through the estate’s lush landscape, nurturing a biodiverse haven filled with birds, wildflowers, and whispering groves. A hallmark of Badamtam is its serene 14-foot-high Buddha statue crafted by a renowned artist, that stands peacefully amidst the garden, embodying the calm and spiritual energy of the place. This harmony is echoed in the teas produced here. Badamtam is especially revered for its ethereal Moonlight white teas, crafted during the early spring season in limited quantities. Delicate, fragrant, and shimmering with nuance - experience this celebrated First Flush offering, that reflects the clarity and vitality of the estate’s high elevation terroir and pristine environment.
