Internationally renowned Darjeeling teas come to us from the area in and around Darjeeling, a Himalayan town in the state of West Bengal in eastern India. The soil and climatic conditions that exist here create teas that are treasured for their exquisite taste. Often referred to as the “Champagne of teas”, Darjeeling teas are so prized that the government there created a special logo that certifies that the teas bearing this logo were actually grown in this beautiful mountain terrain. These teas have a complex and delicate flavor that marries well with custard, eggs, grilled fish, curries and fresh fruit.
This 2nd Flush Darjeeling serves up the joy of tea.
The Sungma Tea Estate is located in the Rung Bong Valley, which is famous for growing high-quality tea. The tea plants are cultivated at altitudes of up to 2,360 meters above sea level.
The aroma of this tea has a pronounced nutmeg character, and the abundant tippy leaves will enchant every second flush lover with their delicate taste. The brewed cup has delightful notes of floral and citrus with a slightly sweet finish.
Brew tea at 195-205º – steep for 3 minutes.
