The Story of Bong Leaf, From Tea Garden to Your Cup

For many of us tea is not just a beverage, it is an emotion, a lifestyle, and comfort blended in a cup. It is a connection of generation. But the journey of each tea leaves holds a story as they travel from the misty slopes of tea gardens to your steaming cups. The aroma and the taste tells about its purity and authenticity. 

In this blog, we will walk you through the story of Bong Leaf’s organic tea journey. We at Bong Leaf, as an organic tea brand, believe that every tea of ours is a taste of nature in a cup. 

The Legacy

The legacy held by Bong Leaf from the slopes of the world famous tea gardens of Darjeeling to the lush green landscapes of Dooars. The sweet aroma of Darjeeling tea and the briskness of Dooars tea offers quite a contrast. The fertile soil, the climate and the cultivation practices create such vast tastes. 

The originality of Bong Leaf tea born from this duality creates the premium loose leaf Darjeeling tea and the robust essence of Dooars. The sophisticated heritage of traditions curates unique blends of luxury.

But Bong Leaf teas are not only about taste, it is about sustainability, purity, and health.

What Makes Bong Leaf an Organic Tea Brand?

In a fast paced world, where manufacturing a product doesn’t take long and is produced in huge amounts, Bong Leaf takes the road less travelled by. Every single organic tea leaf is nurtured without an ounce of chemical fertilizer or pesticides. Curated with natural farming methods and soil nourishment, we make sure no harmful chemical touches your cup!

Our Commitments

• Farmers use natural and technical ways of cultivation, and eco-friendly systems of maintaining soil health.

• Tea gardens exist among native plants, animals and insects, maintaining the ecosystem.

• We don’t believe in adding artificial additives. We only believe in natural and pure taste.

• We work with local farmers who are aligned with our goals of sustainability, supporting communities, and fair practices.

This makes Bong Leaf not just another organic tea brand, but one who respects nature. 

Nurturing the Organic Tea Leaf

The organic tea journey begins at the nurturing of it. The misty slopes of Darjeeling offers the perfect climate for growth of the tender buds. The first flush is carefully handpicked to maintain the quality.

While in the green landscape of Dooars, each organic tea leaf grows in the boldness of sun, rain and the true essence of the soil. The age-old practice of handpicking- two leaves and a bud, generates finest quality. 

The Art of Processing

Unlike the mass produced teas, Bong Leaf teas are processed in small batches. Once plucked they go through a series of processes to maintain the natural taste.

• Withering: The handpicked leaves are spread out to retain aroma and reduce moisture.

• Rolling: The leaves are then rolled to release essential oil and retain an unique flavour.

• Oxidation: The amount of oxidation determines the type of tea, be it green, white, black, oolong tea.

• Drying: Finally, for the last step, the leaves are let to dry naturally. This preserves taste and aroma. 

For organic green tea the oxidation rate is low to none. For premium loose leaf Darjeeling tea the equal balance of rolling and oxidation curates the muscatel flavour of Darjeeling teas.

Bong Leaf’s Signature Tastes

Bong Leaf’s specialty is not limited to one kind. The four different flavours of Bong Leaf teas are unique in character and taste.

• Black Tea

The black tea has a strong, warm and earthy aroma. The taste of the amber colour tea carries a fruity taste along with the fine muscatel taste.

• White Tea

The gentle, soothing, fresh with hints of floral undertone aroma is like a spring in a cup. The tea offers a smoothness with a delicate, light and slightly sweet taste.

• Oolong Tea

The mixed floral yet strong aroma of the oolong tea originates from its complex and layered taste. Depending on the level of oxidation it can taste either lightly floral or toasty. 

• Organic Green Tea

The aroma of walking through the dew-soaked garden in the morning is subtle. The mild sweetness of the organic green tea will refresh the tastebuds.
