Sungma Flowery Musk sftgfop-1Organic/DJ 152 /2^nd flush 2012

  This is a great muscatel variety pure 2^nd flush tea plucked from the high elevation china bushes of the Organic Sungma Plantation in Darjeeling.The dry leafs are extra bold in size and consists of long gold tips in this state.The dry leafs have a woody and confectionary like aroma.

       When steeped for about 4 minutes this exceptional tea releases a bright reddish/golden liquor in the cup.Each sip in the cup gives clear hints of grapes,nuts and roses which further finishes with a smooth muscatel flavor on the palate without any bitterness.

       This tea will be surely admired by tea lovers who have tried our last year`s Turzum clonal delight 2^nd flush as this particular batch of tea is excellent in cup and is surely true value for money.

        We had tasted a lot of 2^nd flush 2012 samples from both Turzum and Sungma Tea Estates before we chose this batch and I personally feel this tea is an exceptional offering from the 2^nd flush 2012 harvest.

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!
