Description
Thurbo Tea Estate – From the mist-kissed heights of Darjeeling’s enchanting Mirik Valley comes a tea of rare distinction – the 2025 First Flush Darjeeling, handpicked from the revered AV2 clonal bushes at the estate’s highest elevations.
The dry leaves, adorned with generous silver tips, shimmer with a vibrant greenish hue – a luminous hallmark of an early spring harvest. As you lift the leaves to your nose, a captivating bouquet unfolds: the sweet tang of raw mangoes, the opulence of muscadine grapes, and the soft caress of ripe apricots, all underpinned by the subtle warmth of roasted nuts and a whisper of cardamom.
Steeped for a patient five minutes, the leaves unfurl into a golden yellow liquor, unveiling a symphony of flavors. Notes of raw mango and pineapple dance across the palate, mingling with other sun-kissed fruits in a velvety cascade. A gentle citrus sweetness lingers at the finish, giving way to a delicate musky aftertaste and a refined briskness that leaves you craving another sip.
Elegant yet complex, this exclusive first flush Darjeeling evokes the sophistication of a fine white wine – a true indulgence for those who savor the extraordinary.
