“Little disappointing given Thurbo’s sterling reputation.. not sure if this tea was correctly sold as a Thurbo and could have come for a lesser known estate” Read full tasting note
We like Thurbo teas and particularly there clonals. They never disappoint us and neither did this one. This is a good all day long second flush tea which is sweet and fresh. The brewed leaves smell of lily and lotus and the dry leaves reminds us of dark chocolate.
Thurbo is a very famous name when it comes to Darjeeling Teas. It’s indigenous clonal teas have unique character, this combined with others ‘jats’ like P316 & AV2 grow matchless autumnal teas. The teas imbue a rare and delicate fragrance. Its China is bright and full of flavour and Assam hybrids taste sweet.
