Thurbo Darjeeling 2nd Flush

Thurbo Darjeeling 2nd Flush – Estate Muscatel Black Tea for Wholesale

Thurbo Darjeeling 2nd Flush was grown and produced at the respected Thurbo Tea Estate, known for some of the finest Darjeeling teas in the region. It was harvested at the height of this year's second-flush season, when Darjeeling teas reach their fullest body and develop their celebrated muscatel character.

The dark, tippy, pointed leaves carry aromatic notes of plum and vanilla, and careful firing yields a particularly sweet, rich and smooth liquor with complex flavor and aroma. Once steeped, the red-amber tea is remarkably smooth, thick and soupy, exactly what buyers expect from a premium second-flush Darjeeling. The aroma is exceptionally floral with plum and vanilla. The flavor shows prominent muscatel grape with honey sweetness, ripe stone fruit, especially plum, and a hint of musk, while vanilla carries through to a smooth finish. Second-flush Darjeeling is prized for a fuller body and deeper, fruitier flavor than first flush, and Thurbo's ranks among the best, offering depth, sweetness and a silky texture. For tea shops and specialty retailers, it is a flagship Darjeeling for enthusiasts. It is best served plain to highlight its fruit and floral complexity, though a small splash of milk can be offered for a creamier cup. It suits afternoon tea service and pairs with fruit tarts, scones and mild cheeses.
