Jungpana Musk – Premium Second Flush Darjeeling Black Tea

Experience the legendary character of the Jungpana Tea Estate with this exquisite "Musk" Second Flush. Harvested from the steep, south-facing slopes of the Himalayas, this tea is a classic example of the renowned "Muscatel" flavor that makes Darjeeling the "Champagne of Teas."

The leaves are dark with a scattering of golden tips, producing a rich, amber liquor. The cup is full-bodied and complex, offering the distinct sweet-spicy notes of muscat grapes, dried fruits, and a hint of dark chocolate. It is a robust yet smooth tea, perfect for the afternoon.

Why we love it:

• Estate: Sourced from the inaccessible and prestigious Jungpana Tea Estate (accessible only by a footbridge over the Changey Khola river).

• Season: Second Flush (Summer Harvest) – known for boldness and the "muscatel" snap.

• Cup: Smooth, amber, and highly aromatic without bitterness.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Deeply aromatic with notes of roasted nuts, cocoa, and caramelized fruit.
