Phuguri Tea Estate Proactively Promoting Quality Improvement Initiatives

Phuguri Tea Estate was established in 1878 in Miriku Valley near the border with Nepal. Since 2000, it has been operated by the Bagalia Group, which owns the Orange Valley and Milicton tea estates. The company actively replanted some of the tea plants in the tea estate with high-quality varieties (AV2), and produced brands with unique aromas reminiscent of citrus fruits, herbs, and roses that are different from the typical muscatel flavor. This type of brand was shipped under the name of Cloneal Tippy, and it became known as the representative scent of black tea produced by Phuguri Tea Estate. We produce more than 108 tons of black tea annually in accordance with international standards and certifications such as organic certification (IMO, organic JAS, etc.), Fair Trade, Naturland, and HACCP.

A fragrance nurtured by the Himalayas, Darjeeling

Darjeeling tea is known as one of the world's three major black teas, and is called "the champagne of black tea" due to its delicate and strong aroma. Even if you don't like black tea, it's a famous production area.
Darjeeling has three distinct quality seasons: spring, summer and autumn. Harvested in late March and early April, the First Flush is the tea leaves picked during the first harvest season of the year that tea fans around the world await.
The bright yellow colour of the tea gives off a greenish scent reminiscent of the green of the grasslands filled with the breath of spring. It's a particularly popular season for people in France, Germany, and Japan.
