Runglee Rungliot sftgfop-1 (Imperial) Ex-1 Darjeeling tea
1st flush 2016
It has really
been an honour for us to taste and have the 1st batch of Premium
Darjeeling tea that rolled out from the garden this year. Mr Yogdeep Gurung who
has joined this plantation as the Manager from this year has made some
fantastic teas in this plantation which we had missed for many years. This is
one of the most beautiful and a very old Garden of Darjeeling. This garden is
famous for its classic Darjeeling teas made from its pure china bushes but now
this garden is also known for its clonal/young teas made from its young clonal
bushes, especially it`s RR clonal bushes. The term RR clone refers to Runglee
Rungliot clone which was first conceived in this garden and now this clone of
tea bush is also found at many others gardens of Darjeeling.
We are really
glad to offer this fantastic batch of tea from this garden this season and
would also like to thank Mr. Yogdeep Gurung and company for giving us the
opportunity to have this batch in our list this year.
This particular batch is the top most quality
early spring Darjeeling tea, plucked from the 100% pure RR (Runglee Rungliot)
clonal bushes of this old and beautiful garden of Darjeeling. Only one leaf and
a bud are plucked from the youngest clonal bushes to make this exceptional
batch of Premium Darjeeling tea.
The dry leafs
are wiry, long and bold in size and has a large amount of unbroken silver tips
in it. The dry leafs gives out fresh and delicious aroma of freshly plucked
orchids and lily flowers.
When steeped
for complete 5 minutes the cup gives out pale yellow/greenish liquor. Each sip is
silky smooth which reminds of flowers like lily and dandelion followed by a
slight hint of parsley and fennel seeds.
A rare Premium high quality 1st flush 2016
Darjeeling tea which is smooth, flowery and delicious!
