Overview
An inviting aroma—fragrant with muscatel and jam-like notes reminiscent of sweet plum cake—introduces this 2025 second flush offering from Gielle Estate. Nestled on the cold, sunlit slopes above Takdah village, the estate lies approximately four miles from the Darjeeling railway station. The dark amber cup is rich and full-bodied, its mouthfeel as smooth as silk. Pronounced muscatel notes are complemented by toasty hints and a subtle nuance of oak. The dry finish lingers with whispers of caramelized sugar and spice.
