ABOUT THE GARDEN
Mangalam Tea Estate has the distinction of being the only tea garden of its kind due its unique bush plantation. Encouraged by the outstanding results achieved from its experiments, the Jayshree Tea and Industries decided to create a new ideal plantation with the concept of close planting by uprooting some of the old tea sections of Towkok Tea Estate with new concept of close spacing of 21/2 x 11/2 x 11/2 x 11/2 x 11/2 with 100% clonal material of high quality potential. The entire garden of 117.99 hectare has been planted with a spacing of 18” x 18” x 18” x 18” with a plucking patch of 2’6” having a population of 42480 plants per hectare.
The entire garden is very well planned from the working convenience of point of view. The plantation has been divided in 1 (one) acre plot having 8’ wide footpath on 3 sides and 20’ wide road along the plantation after every five such one acre plot, thus providing motorable road encircling each plot of 10 acres and making it convenient to supervise every acre plantation while moving in a vehicle.

tasting note
Leaf - A visually arresting composition of broad, softly contoured leaves and slender silver-grey buds, displaying a nuanced medley of muted olive, dusky sage, warm brown and burnished bronze. The leaf retains a natural, minimally worked elegance, with gently curled forms and a softly weathered bloom characteristic of the Yue Guang Bai style.
Liquor - A brilliantly clear and luminous liquor of radiant golden-yellow, illuminated by delicate amber reflections. The cup is refined, mellow and silken in texture, opening with graceful notes of white blossom, wildflower honey and ripe stone fruit. Subtle impressions of fresh melon, dried apricot, sweet hay and soft vegetal freshness emerge gradually, lending depth without disturbing its natural delicacy. The palate remains smooth and rounded, culminating in a serene, lingering finish marked by floral sweetness and a gentle nectar-like resonance.
Infusion - The infused leaves unfurl generously into broad, largely intact forms, revealing warm shades of copper, olive-green, golden-brown and soft russet. Their supple, lustrous appearance testifies to the careful plucking and restrained processing of this Second Flush harvest, plucked on 27 June 2026. The infusion carries a delicate aromatic expression suggestive of honeyed flowers, mellow fruit, and faintly sweet woody.
