Castleton Muscatel ftgfop-1/DJ85/2^nd flush 2012

    This is one of finest muscatel 2^nd flush offering of the season and is harvested at one of my personal favourite garden in Darjeeling. The Castleton Tea Estate is world renowned for its high quality teas like the Castleton moonlight and Castleton Muscatel.

      I have not been too happy though with the Castleton Moonlight batches this year so I have not included it in our list this year but I have been hunting for the Castleton Muscatel batches from last 2 years and finally this one has really won my appreciation.

      This Castleton Muscatel tea is harvested from the pure and matured china bushes during the peak 2^nd flush harvest period and tea lovers around the world compare this tea with Muscat grapes or wines for its fruitiness and sweetness.

       The lot no.Dj85 is an extremely well made tea. This tea is sorted smaller in size and has a delicious fruity aroma in the dry leaf state. Each sip releases a blast of fruity flavors of ripe mangoes and cherries and ends with a smooth muscatel flavor which stays on the palate for a long time.

     I would personally recommend this tea to tea lovers who would love to try out a true high quality tea this season.

              We had been receiving samples from this plantation of Darjeeling from last year but for some reasons we had not been able to approve any of its teas.

An Approach to 2nd Flush Darjeeling tea 2012

An Approach to 2^nd flush 2012:

    The most premium harvest has just started in the Darjeeling tea Industry. It is known as the 2^nd flush harvest. In this harvest the word famous “Muscatel” teas are produced in Darjeeling. The Muscatel flavor in the tea is often compared with the Muscat wine or grapes by tea connoisseurs around the world and Darjeeling is known to produce the Best Muscatel Black teas in the world.

      Like any other harvests the soil and the climatic conditions plays a vital role in this harvest. For a perfect 2^nd flush tea the days should be hot and the nights have to be colder so that the shoots and the leafs gets dehydrated and the finest muscatel teas are produced from the most dehydrated leafs. The dry leafs of a good 2^nd flush tea should be brown/coppery in appearance with tiny gold tips in the china varietals and large and bold gold tips in the clonal varieties of Darjeeling teas.

       We have been tasting a lot of current tea samples from various gardens like Jungpana ,Goomtee,Castleton,Puttabong,Turzum,Sungma,Teesta Valley,Gielle etc. and we can confirm  that the best 2^nd flush teas will start coming in from the 10^th-15^th of June 2012 and all the teas being made before this time frame are pre-2^nd flush teas.

    As usual we request all our tea lover friends to have patience as we are working hard to procure the best 2^nd flush teas and as soon as we finish procuring our list of teas we will inform all our friends and I guarantee we will offer the best!
