Slightly bolder than the First Flush it is a delightful tea perfectly suited for any time of the day with food or without.

Poobong, nestled on the slopes of the Himalayas, is a small tea estate but one of the oldest in India, established in 1913. Since then, it produces an excellent quality teas that remain amongst the most sought-after in the world.

The Story of Darjeeling Tea:

Many teas from Darjeeling are considered the world's finest, however the Darjeeling tea plant is actually the small-leaf Chinese species of Camellia Sinensis, rather than the broad-leaf Assamese variety. The cultivation of tea in Darjeeling began in 1841, with the planting of the Chinese tea plant by a British surgeon posted there during British rule. Traditionally a black tea, Darjeeling tea gardens have now begun to produce green, oolong, and white varieties. Only tea cultivated in the Darjeeling area can bear the name of Darjeeling.

Harvested in summer from the Poobong Tea Estate in the Himalayan foothills, this FTGFOP1 Darjeeling 2nd Flush offers a rich, fruity cup with the region’s signature muscatel notes. Elegant and complex, it’s perfect for slow, mindful sipping. Want to learn how Darjeeling compares to other Indian teas?
