NO.293
NUMEROLOGY
Sardar’s Gold has been given the unique number of 293 because it was picked on the 29th of March. Such a delicate and specialised tea requires a tremendous amount of skill to produce. Sardar’s Gold is a 1st Flush Darjeeling from The Phoobsering Teas Garden, where every step is carried out with the utmost care and passion. From picking to processing the tea, every stage is just as important as the next. So, the 29th of March is not just a date; it’s the day this tea began its journey to your cup; it is the start of a story filled with love, care, and flavour.
INDIA
Tea plantations were first introduced to India by the British in the 19th century, after Robert Fortune stole Chinese tea cuttings to plant in the Himalayan region of Darjeeling. Today Indian tea is some of the most famous in the world: it's also home to Assam tea, found growing wild there by the Scottish explorer Robert Bruce.
Store in a sealed jar or tin, such as our Fill-Me-Up Tea Caddies.
