Why Choose Okayti Tea?

Organic & Premium Production – Okayti teas are certified bio-organic and produced with careful craftsmanship to preserve the delicate flavors befitting a premium Darjeeling tea.

Our Collection at a Glance
● Okayti Loose Leaf (Green Tea, 2nd Flush) – A rare high-altitude Darjeeling green tea with crisp fresh notes, vibrant colour and complex finish.
● Okayti Black Tea (First Flush / Spring Clonal Black) – Light bodied but richly aromatic; a premium Darjeeling black tea typifying the spring harvest finesse.

Brewing & Enjoying Tips
● For green teas: Use water at ~80-85 °C, steep for 2-3 minutes to preserve delicate vegetal and floral notes.
● For black teas: Use near-boiling water (~95 °C), steep for 3-4 minutes to extract the body and aroma without bitterness.
● Use an infuser or glass teapot to watch the leaves unfurl and the liquor develop its colour and clarity.
● To truly savour Okayti: brew plain (without milk) so as not to mask the nuanced notes; if desired, add a hint of honey or lemon for green teas.
The Story Behind the Leaf
Founded in the early 1870s as Rangdoo, the estate’s tea swiftly gained international acclaim in the London auctions for its purity, flavour and clarity, prompting the name “Okay-tea” which evolved into Okayti. Located in the enchanting Mirik Valley near the Indo-Nepal border, the estate’s elevation, cool Himalayan climate and rich soils create ideal conditions for premium teas. Today, it continues to uphold its legacy of fine single-estate teas, crafted for discerning drinkers globally.
Health & Wellness Benefits
● High-altitude tea leaves like those from Okayti tend to retain high levels of antioxidants and polyphenols beneficial for general wellness.
