The twin estates of Jungpana and Goomtee produce some of Darjeeling’s finest teas and this lovely complex from Jungpana is no exception. This tea from the Mahaldheram 2B division produced at an altitude of 5297 feet made from pure china bushes [China refers to the original Darjeeling tea plants that were transported secretly by the British in the 1800s from China]. It is lovely to look at and a pleasure to drink making it a “not-to-be-missed,” tea if you can help it. First of all, it has a lovely aroma which is a blend of sweet white wine and good dry sherry, backed by an ensemble of spicy roses and retsina and finally topped with a magnificent palette-pleasing splash of fermented honey. This may sound slightly over-the-top….but is it, really;You won’t know unless you go for it!
