Purveyor of exquisite artisanal teas, Golden Tips has sourced and purchased the new season’s exotic Darjeeling Spring tea from the renowned Badamtam Tea estate at record prices. The company procured the organic white tea at Rs 31,000 per kg. This lot of tea was plucked from a section of the estate which is planted with the top-quality clone SY – 1240. This tea variety has a chunky white tip appearance, bright green infusion, and a fruity peach-like flavor.
The tea was harvested a few days ago from the estate situated at an elevation of around 4500 ft. above sea level. The terroir of the region which involves a special combination of sunshine, moisture, soil quality, and wind, imparts a unique character and quality to the tea. The fine tender buds and succulent leaves that have grown after a long winter dormancy are carefully plucked by specially trained pluckers and then transported in bamboo baskets to the garden factory.
Madhav Sarda, Managing Director of Golden Tips says, “We have sourced high-class teas from reputed tea gardens over the last few decades. We are glad to procure the most exotic spring tea once again from Badamtam tea estate. Our common vision of providing a world-class tea experience to tea lovers all over the globe has made us natural partners and our relationship goes much beyond mere sourcing of teas.”
At the heart of this association is the Golden Tips’ direct sourcing model to procure straight from producers and ensure that farmers get optimum realization. This creates a significant positive macro-impact in the form of improved amenities and better living conditions for the tea workers. This further insulates producers from the volatility of auctions as Golden Tips assures them of round-the-year offtakes. For consumers, it means top-quality, garden-fresh teas sourced directly from the tea estates within days of harvest and at the correct prices.
