Turzum Tea Estate is another tea garden owned by the Jayshree Tea people. Turzum is well known for its excellent clonal variety and has excelled in quality production. Each tea season Turzum comes out with some excellent invoices and this Darjeeling First Flush 2012, we bring you the finest First Flush Darjeeling Tea invoice from Turzum. Due to its high altitude, Turzum Tea Estate always flushes slower than other tea gardens and this time too Turzum followed its tradition of flushing late. We were provided several invoice samples, but the first invoice “DJ 1” won our hearts and we procured it. We had to undergo a lot of bidding on this tea as it was liked by other companies as well. We had to get this tea anyhow and thus had to do the highest bidding as well. One top notch First Flush 2012 clonal tea which you will remember through years to come.
Turzum SFTGFOP1 Clonal Delight Dry Leaves:
The general outlook of this First Flush clonal tea is the most important factor that attracted us first – magnificent leaf appearance. A clonal graded tea made with utmost care in manufacture retaining all the essential characteristics for which this tea has excelled. The tea leaves are elongated with those longish shape, well rolled and twisted. The overall color texture is greenish which can be seen with a beautiful blend of light and bottle green colors. The bottle green which we are describing may seem black from a distance but on closer inspection it has that embedded mixture of chocolate brown and bottle green colors. It has high content of elongated silver tips or buds which is accompanied by some golden buds as well. Most of the tea leaves seem clad in white furry coat or silver hairs giving the tea a definite luster and bloom. It has a sweet aroma which comes mingled with a mild cake like, pastry character. It also has that mild caramelized character with a nutty finish. It has a fresh floral scent of wild flowers and imparts a certain fruity character which seems somewhat like fresh cut apples.
