The area is known 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 called the “champagne of teas” due to its exceptional taste and aromatic qualities.
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.
