Darjeeling Thurbo Second Flush 2022: floral, rich, muscatel and plum-like
This highly acclaimed Darjeeling Thurbo Second Flush is a 2022 picking. It has a long, dark greenish, tippy leaf and produces a bronze liquor with a deeply attractive chocolate aroma and a medium-bodied, elegant cup with a little briskness. It has a well-defined muscatel character with grapey, plum-like notes. A really lovely and sought-after tea. Use one teaspoon per cup and one for the pot with freshly boiling water and infuse for four minutes. Just sit back and contemplate your good fortune!
The Thurbo garden is located in the Mirik valley, to the south-east of Darjeeling town and close to the Nepalese border and the breath-taking mount Kanchenjunga. It is so named after the word for 'tent' relating to those of the British encampment en-route to Nepal.
Tea from Grey's Teas
Our teas are loose leaf and we specialise in large leaf grades. All are made using traditional orthodox methods. Our teas are from named tea gardens or defined areas of origin.
Sourcing our tea
Darjeeling Thurbo Second Flush tea has been chosen for its distinctive, balanced flavour, aroma and appearance. Our tea is carefully sourced from long-established shippers. We can therefore guarantee the quality and origin of each tea and that it conforms to UK food and drink health regulations and our own demanding grading requirements.
The benefits of loose leaf tea
This loose leaf tea enables the full flavour characteristics of the tea to infuse. This tea is chosen for its high grade which imparts the flavour and aroma characteristics for which this tea is best known. A little extra time is necessary when infusing large leaf grades but you will be rewarded with a superior, more balanced cup. You will be well rewarded for your patience!
