Here is a golden opportunity to refine your tasting palate with two teas produced one after another this summer at Jungpana! A daunting challenge considering their close proximity in taste. This one offers a full and rich liquor, displaying abundant floral scents (wild rose), zests and wood (resin). The attack is lively and powerful, completed with a profound finish revealing fine spicy accents typical of the garden. A substantial and complex tea, an example of an exceptional classic lot.

Located near the Nepalese border, this garden offers a certified organic tea, produced with a sense of tradition. Its liquor, fresh and invigorating, is a pleasant balance between its woody (bark), mineral, cereal and fruity notes. Its finish is highlighted by a subtle hint of muscat aromas. A complete and satisfying tea that will keep delivering on its promise of quality throughout the year!

Light, bright classic First Flush from a small family run garden with a big heart in the South of Darjeeling. This lot, produced from original old tea bushes (1890s) consists of large finely rolled leaves. Crisp, clear and refreshing, this tea shows great herbaceous character, nuanced by fruity (tomato) and woody (bark, nuts) aromas. An unpretentious tea enhanced by a charming aromatic bouquet!

A rich and flavorful mid-flush organic delight that crops up every year in Puttabong Tea Estate (known affectionately as the “Clonal Queen”) just north of Darjeeling town. This blend of cultivars (including the popular AV2 and the elusive T78) presents a well-defined taste profile, easy to follow as it develops in the mouth. Light herbal and flowery head notes moving into darker nuances (incense and muscat) before trailing off with fruity hints at the end (peaches). This year’s thirst quenching Darjeeling by excellence.
