This impressive 2024 first flush selection is from the Thurbo Estate, which is located in the verdant Mirik Valley of Darjeeling. The well-made, attractive leaves yield a golden-amber liquor, aromatic with a floral essence, a pronounced sweetness, and a fresh vegetal hint. The medium-bodied cup has a lively character, bursting with rich floral notes, a tropical fruit whisper, and a hint of mineral. The subtly crisp, lingering finish leaves a pleasant sweetness on the palate, completing an enjoyable tea experience.
