Darjeeling Second Flush | Premium Loose Leaf Black Tea Muscatel

The Thurbo tea garden, locarted in the Mirik Valley is well know for its clonal teas. This Darjeeling tea garden was planted in the year 1872. As with most Darjeeling tea gardens, there is a unique story behind its name. At the time of their Nepal invasion, the British set up a camp in this estate. The word camp is known as 'Tombu' in local dialect and over the years the name has become Thurbo. This is one of our favorite tea from the second flush season of 2020. The dry leaves got from the clonal bushes of this reputed estate are a mixture of brown and orange with a fair amount of silvery tips. They give out a delicious aroma of honey, oranges and slight hint of dry forest leafs. The light golden-amber liquor has a creamy texture and a complex layered flavor profile with delicate sweetness and very little astrigency. The cup starts with pronounced floral notes (rose) and sweet vanilla. With each sip, the tea develops rich aromas with hints of tropical fruits and white grapes accompani
