Terroir & Climate
At 456 metres elevation in Misiones, the estate occupies a position in Argentina's subtropical tea-growing belt, where the climate typically combines warm, humid conditions with moderate altitude. Estates at this latitude and elevation generally experience a growing season that extends through much of the year, with sufficient rainfall and warmth to support vigorous vegetative growth. The red, iron-rich soils common to the region tend to provide good drainage, though specific soil composition varies widely across Misiones.
This elevation typically sits in a transitional zone where cooler night-time temperatures may offer some respite from the subtropical heat without the marked diurnal swings of higher-altitude tea regions. Such conditions generally favour robust leaf development and can support the oxidative processes required for black tea production. The interplay of latitude, altitude and the region's weather patterns tends to shape the growing cycle, though individual estate microclimates can differ considerably.
Tea Produced
The estate produces black tea. Argentine black teas from Misiones typically yield a cup with good body and a straightforward, malty character, often described as brisk rather than delicate. Estates at similar elevations in the region tend to produce leaf that oxidises well, delivering strength and colour suited to blending applications and to markets that favour robust, everyday teas. The specific cup profile of this estate's output will depend on plucking standards, processing methods and the particular clonal material under cultivation, none of which are publicly documented.
Supply Chain & Market Position
Establec.Las Cinco Hermanas Srl is recorded as supplying Finlays, a major player in the global tea supply chain with procurement networks across multiple origins. Finlays serves a wide range of retail, foodservice and beverage-industry customers, indicating that this estate's production is likely destined for blending and commercial channels rather than single-origin retail. The relationship suggests that the estate meets the quality and consistency standards required by large-scale buyers operating in international markets.
