A flowery and highly aromatic leaf tea with the appearance of the best Sikkim teas and the exquisite character of the finest Darjeeling teas. The small plantation Maloom, located on the roof of the world, produces outstanding teas which need not fear the comparison to the most significant Darjeelings. The very nice Sinensis leaf with its silver-colored tips develops a bronze-colored infusion with a flowery and round scent. A real alternative for those who love something special.
This success story started in the year 2000 when three tea lovers founded this exclusive 185 acre (75 hectares) tea garden in East Nepal to produce half-fermented premium qualities in close cooporation with several smaller farms among other teas. This East Nepal tea garden is proving to be a serious competition with the Oolongs from Darjeeling and Formosa, even with an annual export of only a few lots of just under 220 lbs (100 kg) net production each. Both the tea leaves and the infusion have intense scents of hay flowers, a complex and fresh aroma and a slightly earthy characteristic with a delicately sweet spiciness.
