The farm is located at an altitude of about 1500 metres above sea level, in the north-western part of the beautiful Kurseong Valley. The area is renowned for its spectacular scenery and mild climate which is ideal for tea growing. Singell has become particularly famous for its high-quality Darjeeling tea, often referred to as the 'champagne of teas' because of its exceptional flavour and aromatic properties.
The estate attracts not only tea enthusiasts but also many visitors who want to experience the scenic landscape of Darjeeling and its famous tea estates. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the rolling hills and lush greenery, making Singell a popular destination for tourists. Offering a unique insight into the tea production process and learning about the traditions and methods that have been preserved over the generations, Singell teas are sought after for their unique flavour profiles, often containing a harmonious blend of floral, nutty and spicy undertones. This complexity of flavour can be attributed to the special growing conditions and the careful methods used in picking and preparing the leaves. In addition, light hints of citrus and subtle notes of muscatel can often be detected, adding to the tea's distinctive character. These flavours mean that each cup of Singell tea offers a new and enjoyable taste experience.

Infusion

Quantity / 250 ml 2,5-3 g

temperature 90-95°C

Infusion 3-4 minutes

D arjeeling Singell Tippy Musk is well suited for multiple infusions. The second infusion is best kept short, as the leaves have already started to open and release their flavours. Subsequent infusions, on the other hand, should be left to rest a little longer, so that the flavours deepen and the nuances emerge. For many teas, two or three infusions with the above parameters are enough, but some keep on giving, cup after cup.
