Description

The monsoon rains appear during the first flush, a period of peak seasonal quality of an Darjeeling. The rain ensures that the estates soil remains wet for cultivating tea while the hillsides ensure that all roots are kept perfectly drained.

Temperatures are cool, much cooler than in the neighbouring growing region of Assam which creates the differentiating brew.

Leaf Grade- Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe.

Harvest- Mid Season

Brewing Guide- Use boiling water (100 degrees) Infuse for 3-5 minutes.

How to Serve- Serve best with milk or honey and lemon.

Tasting Notes- Bright, fresh and full of flavour. Lovely muscatel character with a hint of nuttiness.

Colour in Cup- Light, bright, golden liquor

Storage- Airtight container.

History of Darjeeling Tukdah Tea Estate

The high hills below Himalayas is one of the shimmering jewels in the Darjeeling crown. The estate is on the banks of the Teesta river valley downstream from Sikkim. This area has a huge amount of rainfall as well as lots of lightning!

The actual name Darjeeling means place of lightning. In Hindu mythology, legend has it that a thunderbolt thrown by Lord Indra, king of heaven, struck the ground in the surrounding woods.

  1. Sorry but have been drinking Darjeeling 1st Flush for last 8-10 years. In fact been to Darjeeling, Kalimpong & even stayed in Takdah. Also baught nearly £1.5K 1st Flush & White Teas from the area. Bought your tea, seeing Takdah 1st Flush, expecting the same quality. But regret to say....Nowhere close. Sorry.
