Producing premium Darjeeling teas in the Mirik Valley for over a century, the Thurbo Estate cultivates tea at an average elevation of 6,000 feet. In this 2025 first flush offering, silver tips are sprinkled among attractive leaves in shades of olive green. Tropical fruit notes lend a rich sweetness to both the aroma and the amber-gold cup. Hints of fresh corn silk and spring greens add depth to the fragrance. A candy-like sweetness complements subtle notes of almond and flowers in the flavor. The crisp finish lingers with the whisper of a spring garden.
