Castleton Muscatel Exclusive ftgfop-1 DJ 93/ 2^nd flush 2013 Darjeeling tea

     I am really happy and excited to have and offer this lot of exclusive 2^nd flush 2013 Muscatel Darjeeling tea in my list of teas. The Castleton Tea estate is situated in the Kurseong valley of Darjeeling district at an altitude of 4000 feet. This area of Darjeeling district is famous mainly for its 2^nd flush harvest. Tea Lovers around the world claim that gardens in the Kurseong Valley of Darjeeling makes the best Muscatel variety teas.

        Last year all our tea lover friends had really liked the Castleton Muscatel 2^nd flush lot that we had offered. So this year the expectations were really high and I wanted to have a really peak time Muscatel lot from this garden but unfortunately from the end of May 2013 it started raining continuously for over 10 days and every sample we tasted were either a pre- 2^nd flush tea or a tea from the dormant period. Finally when we started having hot and sunny days from the 2^nd week of June 2013 we tasted almost every muscatel lot samples from Castleton. When finally on the last week of June we chose the Castleton Muscatel Exclusive ftgfop-1 DJ 93/ 2^nd flush 2013 Darjeeling tea lot.

      This is simply the best lot that rolled out of the garden, we guarantee that out of 22 Castleton Muscatel samples we tasted this really stands out to be the “Exclusive “lot.

     This premium lot of tea is plucked from the 100% pure china origin bushes of the “Gauri Shankar”division of this plantation. The dry leafs are extremely well sorted twisted and is wiry in appearance. The dry leafs has a rich aroma of chocolates and dates. When steeped for complete 4 minutes the cup releases rich golden liquor and rich flavour of ripe grapes raises high above the cup. Each sip is super smooth which reminds of chocolates, ripe grapes, mangoes and cherries which further leaves classic and sweet muscatel taste which stays on the palate for long time.

    A true classic Muscatel variety 2^nd flush 2013 Darjeeling tea which cannot be further replicated!
