About the Garden

Kartik Tea Estate, officially named Kartick, was established in 1898 in West Bengal’s Alipurduar district, near the foothills of the Darjeeling Hills. Part of Rydak Syndicate, the garden brings more than a century of tea growing heritage to its Dooars identity. The estate highlights careful cultivation, attentive leaf plucking and irrigation among the practices supporting its tea production. For tea lovers, its appeal begins with this connection to a particular place and the people who cultivate it. This single estate selection offers an opportunity to explore Kartik through a second flush tea, adding provenance to the pleasure of everyday drinking.

Kartik BOPSM brings a named estate and a specific harvest season to an everyday tea format. For someone beginning to explore estate teas, these details offer a useful starting point: where the tea comes from, when it was harvested and how its leaf is processed. Its Dooars origin places it within an established Indian tea region, while the BOPSM grade identifies its small CTC particles. The appeal lies in discovering the garden behind a familiar cup of black tea.

BOPSM stands for Broken Orange Pekoe Small, a grading term describing the size and form of processed tea particles. In a CTC tea, it indicates a small granular grade rather than long, intact leaves. The word “orange” belongs to the traditional grading vocabulary; it does not mean orange fruit or added citrus flavour. For customers, BOPSM helps explain the tea’s physical format. It is one detail to consider alongside origin, harvest and personal taste when choosing your next tea.

Second flush identifies the tea’s harvest period, helping distinguish this selection from teas gathered at other times of the growing season. Seasonal conditions influence how tea develops, making harvest information useful when exploring a garden’s different offerings. It does not describe an added ingredient or a separate flavouring process. For a new customer, the term adds another layer of provenance: Kartik is the estate, Dooars is the region, and second flush identifies the seasonal selection offered in this particular pack.

A single estate tea comes from one named garden, giving the customer a clear connection to its source. A blend may combine teas from several gardens or regions to create a chosen flavour or maintain consistency. Both approaches have their own appeal. Kartik BOPSM is suited to customers curious about exploring an individual estate through their daily tea. Its identity is tied to Kartik, while its second flush designation adds information about the harvest represented by this particular selection.
