Our second-flush, organic Darjeeling is grown at the Ambootia Estate, Kurseong valley, in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains. The leaf is medium in size and has a distinct "muscatel" flavor, reflecting the timing of the flush and the unique combination of climate, high elevation and moisture in the soil. The leaf style is fine, tippy, golden bud, flowery and orange pekoe (FTGFOP). The taste is brisk, with a flowery aroma. Of course, cups to a wonderful golden color.
Tea Notes
Prized Darjeelings grow at higher elevations, where the famous and beneficial "Darjeeling mist" envelops the gardens.
In selecting a Darjeeling the dictum is "goodness is a decision for the mouth to make."
