“3.5g / 200ml glaspot 5m @ 85C Comforting, lychee, full bodied and slightly tangy. Very nice! Loads better then Arya topaz. the only other darjeeling oolong i´ve tried.” Read full tasting note
“I’ve tried a few different Darjeelings from Teabox, and I like this one best. It’s mild but complex. The light amber color makes it appear a bit weaker than it actually is. The leaves are beautiful...” Read full tasting note

Description

Like it’s first flush counterpart, we still consider this tea to be a thinking person’s Darjeeling. It is full in the mouth and has a very pleasant after taste. A subtle yet strong taste with a huge refreshing element makes this an excellent Oolong. Whether you are at home or at work, this is a good companion for those who love the exoticness of Darjeeling teas.

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.
