Runglee Rungliot sftgfop-1 (SUPREME) DJ – 57 Darjeeling teas 2^nd flush 2016:

       We are really glad to have this lot of pure 2^nd flush 2016 Darjeeling tea from this high elevation beautiful garden of Darjeeling. This premium lot of Darjeeling tea has been made from pure china leaves and has a very classic Darjeeling character.

    This garden of Darjeeling has been producing some very good teas this year, right from the 1^st flush 2016 harvest.

     Actually Mr. Yogdeep Gurung (the manager of Runglee Rungliot tea garden) who has recently joined the garden has been working very hard to produce high quality teas and each batch of tea produced from this garden shows his high quality tea making skills this year.

    We are very thankful to Mr. Gurung for sending us the sample for this excellent batch of tea. This batch of 2^nd flush 2016 Darjeeling tea is a very well made batch which is plucked from the high elevation pure china bushes of this garden. The dry leaves are well twisted and consist of small size silver tips in it. The dry leaves gives out delicious aroma of chocolates, dry pine leaves and hints of vanilla.

     When steeped for complete 5 minutes the cup gives out bright golden orange liquor. Each sip reminds of ripe peaches, berries and leaves a very sweet chocolate like taste on the palate.

   It has really been an honour for us to taste and have the 1^st 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 1^st flush 2016 Darjeeling tea which is smooth, flowery and delicious!
