The Manifesto
Four chapters, a century and a half in the steeping
01
Valley of the Gods
Kangra — the valley the old texts called the land of the gods — where deodar forests give way to tea.
02
The 1849 Planting
Dr. Jameson brings Camellia sinensis to the Dhauladhar foothills; the first estate gardens take root.
03
Fog & Snowmelt
A micro-climate of cloud, cold springs and slow growth — the making of Kangra's muscatel character.
04
The Slow Hand-Pluck
Two leaves and a bud, taken by hand as they have been for five generations of plucking families.
The Ritual
Steeped, not rushed
Mountain leaf asks for patience — water just off the boil, a warmed pot, and minutes measured rather than guessed. Our brewing companion walks you through each pour with a live steep timer tuned to every tea we make.
