Glenburn Moonshine elite Ex-11 Darjeeling tea 1st flush 2020


This year the Glenburn tea estate started their 1st flush harvest a bit early so we had the opportunity to taste a lot of tea samples from them, we would also like to thank them for giving us the opportunity to taste the tea samples right from the 1st batch was made. This year we waited a bit longer as we wanted to procure the Moonshine batch of Darjeeling tea made from pure AV2 cultivar without any mix of other cultivars in it. We procured 2 batches of Glenburn Moonshine batches this season and they are EX11 and EX12.
    We are offering the EX11 on our website which we feel is a great tea. It is an exceptional and premium quality early season 1st flush 2020 Darjeeling tea plucked from pure and young AV2 clonal bushes of this beautiful garden of Darjeeling. This is the 1st lot of pure 1st flush 2020 AV2 clonal Moonshine Darjeeling tea to roll out of this garden this year.
    The dry leaves are bright green in appearance and have a lot of bold unbroken silver tips in it. When steeped for complete 5 minutes the cup gives out light and bright yellow liquor.
    Each sip is super delicious which reminds of exotic flowers like white rose petals and white lilies with undertones of candied fruits, sweet raisins and fresh sweet honey which further leaves an aftertaste of dry coconut and citrus on the tea lover`s palate.
