ABOUT THE GARDEN
Nestled in the mist-laden hills of Darjeeling, Lizahill Tea Estate carries the quiet elegance of a classic Himalayan garden. Once an independent estate with its own factory, Lizahill is now part of the historic Risheehat Tea Garden, a name associated with steep terrain, fertile mountain soil, and the refined character of organic Darjeeling tea. Its elevation, cool climate, and well-drained slopes create ideal conditions for producing teas of delicacy, brightness, and aromatic complexity.
The garden is especially linked with the prized Darjeeling profile—floral, layered, and muscatel in expression, with second flush teas known for their distinctive depth and fragrance. Surrounded by neighbouring Darjeeling gardens and set within a richly traditional tea-growing belt, Lizahill reflects the region’s enduring craft: careful plucking, sensitive manufacture, and a deep respect for the mountain terroir that gives Darjeeling tea its celebrated identity.

If first flush Darjeeling can be described as "Spring in a Cup," then the Liza Hill Flowery Clonal second flush is an ode to the passing of summer.
The floral aroma will bring back memories of lazy summers in a rose garden. A smooth and elegant tea that just invites you to take a pause in the day, restoring calm and balance.
I ordered on a Thursday, and the tea was delivered to me in London on Monday. Great service, great tea, my only regret is that this tea will surely sell out quickly
