Darjeeling Sungma Summer Muscatel Black
Established between 1863 and 1868 in the verdant Rungbong Valley of Darjeeling, Sungma Tea Estate stands as a proud testament to British colonial legacy and craftsmanship. Renowned for producing some of the region’s finest muscatel teas, the estate sits gracefully at elevations of 4,000–6,000 feet, where the sublime beauty of the Himalayan foothills nurtures its celebrated flavor profile.
Spanning over 300 hectares of pristine terrain, Sungma is also home to a thriving nature reserve adorned with thousands of towering pine trees. The cool, misty climate—ranging from 3°C in winter to 28°C in summer—imparts a distinctive character to its teas, reflecting the essence of its high-mountain terroir. The estate’s history was reshaped in 1934 when it merged with Turzum Tea Estate following a devastating earthquake, strengthening both gardens for the future.
Since coming under the stewardship of Jayshree Tea in 1993, Sungma has embraced modernization while preserving its rich heritage. With Fair Trade and ISO 1901:2008 certifications, it continues to uphold sustainable cultivation practices, environmental stewardship, and a deep commitment to employee welfare—ensuring every cup captures the timeless charm of its Himalayan origins.
