A tea well worth the detour.

Intense currant, malt and vanilla notes. Long on the palate.

Origin of ingredients
Singell Tea Garden
Terroir
The Singell Garden, opened in 1871 by the British with the aim of bypassing the Chinese tea trade, was one of Darjeeling's first tea gardens. Deserted in the 1980s due to social and political unrest, the garden was abandoned for many years before being bought back in the late 1990s. Located near Kurseong in the Darjeeling district, this area is known as the white orchid region. Although it lies at an altitude of over a thousand meters, it enjoys a subtropical climate with pleasant temperatures all year round. The Singell Garden is located close to the Mahananda Nature Reserve, home to many protected species such as the Indian bison, the Royal Bengal tiger and the red-necked hornbill. The soil is lateritic and natural water sources come from nearby forest areas, where streams are held back by small cisterns and reservoirs.
Community projects
Water supply is a concern, as its availability is in question due to deforestation, prompting the community to implement recycling initiatives and awareness campaigns with the help of the Fair Trade Premium.
Organic farming
We have always offered organically grown teas and herbal teas, and used natural, organic flavours. We go even further, demanding that our suppliers use certified organic flavor carriers and solvents. Certified since 1994.
Fair trade
A WFTO (World Fair Trade Organization) certified member, Les Jardins de Gaïa has been committed to fair trade since its creation: from the tea leaf to the cup, all our practices meet fair trade requirements. To find out more: www.wfto.com.
Darjeeling PGI
Guaranteeing the origin of our teas is one of our top priorities. We're delighted to finally be able to display the official Darjeeling logo on our packaging, a guarantee of the geographical origin of this tea that we've cherished since our origins. Since 2011, the European Union has recognized the only existing PGI for tea. A guarantee of protection for Indian producers and consumers alike.
PGI: Protected Geographical Indication
Grand Cru Tea
Because we have always chosen teas of excellence produced by long-standing partners, we have a few rarities that gourmets will appreciate. Harvested green teas from Japan, black teas from Darjeeling, spring teas from China, vintage pu'er or carefully hand-braided teas, organic teas of incomparable finesse for memorable tastings.
Plain tea
White, green, black and dark teas from China, India, Japan and elsewhere are all varieties from the same plant: the tea plant. Once plucked, the leaf is processed in different ways, undergoing numerous transformations. Depending on the terroir, the fineness of the leaf and the way it is processed, the result is an unlimited palette of tastes and vintages.
Tea and Chocolate Pairings
The bright, fruity notes of a dark chocolate orange blend perfectly with the intense malty and fruity flavors that characterize this Singell Malt FTGFOP1 SF.
Tasting suggestions: Start by letting a chocolate tile melt in your mouth and experience the gourmet pleasure of dark chocolate and sunny citrus fruit together. Take a sip of black tea and let yourself be carried away by this intensely deep, fruity accord.
