A rare, fragrant second flush Darjeeling from the foothills of the Himalayas in India brews to a lovely burgundy color. The taste is exquisite and complex with a refined malty and muscatel character, and a fruity, floral finish. It offers an excellent quality/price ratio.
Located in the Himalayas, Glenburn is ethically managed by one of the most widely respected tea families in India. Two snow-fed Himalayan rivers - the Rungeet and the Rung Dung - wind through the estate and nourish the Glenburn tea bushes. The revered Himalayan garden was founded in 1859 by a Scottish tea company. Later, the garden was passed on to the pioneering Prakash family, who are known in Darjeeling as ‘Chaiwala’, the Hindi term for ‘tea planters’.
