Ringtong Spring Darjeeling

Tucked into the serene slopes of Sonada, just 16 kilometres from Darjeeling, the Ringtong Tea Garden has quietly flourished since its founding in 1865, making it one of the oldest tea gardens in the region. Set at elevations ranging from 1000 to 1700 meters, its high-mountain terroir, cool misty air, and rich soil yield teas of exceptional clarity and complexity in the teas they produce..

Ringtong is home to original China cultivars- ancient China bushes that lend the tea a refined, old-world character. Recent small-batch harvests have garnered attention for their standout first and second flushes, with hand-rolled teas crafted in limited quantities, showcasing meticulous care and tradition.

Our exquisite Ringtong Spring Darjeeling tea opens with vibrant green hues and a medium-bodied cup that immediately lifts the senses. The palate is greeted by a clean sweetness of fresh greens, flowing into bright, juicy notes of cantaloupe and green papaya, lending the brew a soft radiance. Nutty undertones emerge toward the finish, it is gentle, grounding, and lingers just long enough to leave a lasting impression. Elegant, expressive, and deeply rooted in Darjeeling’s legacy, our Ringtong Spring is a rare tea worth savoring.
