Jungpana Muscatel (Summer) Darjeeling Organic Black Tea

Your purchase will support Steepster.

One of our best sellers of last season, this 2013 Second Flush Jungpana Muscatel is expected to be no less. The first impression given by this tea is one of uniform delicate wiry leaves which reminds one of China Keemun. The carefully-made leaves are an attractive dark brown with lovely golden tips. The scent is sharp and spicy with a touch of toast and cocoa. The infusion is brilliant, spicy and floral which reminds one of a bouquet of spring Hyacinth flowers. The muscatel taste is pronounced and becomes stronger with a second steeping. This Jungpana makes a rich, full, bracing cup with a flowery finish overlaid by a suggestion of peat and retsina wine; a one-of-a-kind tea that should be tried for its most uncommon characteristics.

Jungpana is a small estate nestled in the hills of the Darjeeling region, known for the muscatel flavor of its teas.
