With pronounced aromas of guava and passion fruit, this 2nd Flush Darjeeling has notes of peaches and apricots that dance on your taste buds.
From the Jugpana Tea Estate in Darjeeling, only pure Chinese tea bushes were used when the farm was originally planted over 100 years ago. It also has such a unique climate that it creates a micro-climate within itself that gives these teas their distinctive peach and apricot flavors. This farm is so popular, it is rumored that the British Royal Family is a fan of it. A true Connoisseur's delight.
Ingredients: 2nd Flush Darjeeling Tea from the Jugpana Tea Estate •
Why it’s Special:
** Apricot jumps off the front palate with a finish of peach
** From the famous Jungpana Tea Estate in Darjeeling, using bushes that are over 100 years old
** 2nd flush refers to the 2nd plucking of the tea leaves in June
** 2nd Flush Darjeelings have the fullest flavor, in our opinion
** Often referred to as “Muscatel Darjeeling” because its flavor closely matches Muscatel Wine from France.
What to be Careful of:
** If you over-steep this tea, it will immediately turn bitter
** Darjeelings are best drank “neat,” without any milk or sugar
** Flavor is much different than most Black Teas, with more fruity notes
** Touch of astringency, which Darjeelings are famous for
** Not a first flush Darjeeling, but pound for pound we like the flavor more
