Darjeeling Thurbo - Black Tea

Darjeeling Thurbo Black Tea – A Refined, High-Grown Tea from North India

Discover the exceptional quality of our Darjeeling Thurbo Black Tea, a premium high-grown tea from the renowned Darjeeling region in North India. Grown in the foothills of the Himalayas, this tea benefits from the unique climate and altitude of the region, which infuses it with a bright, sparkling flavor and a delicate, floral aroma.

Our Darjeeling Thurbo is a Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe (FTGFOP), which is one of the highest grades awarded to Darjeeling teas. The "Tippy" refers to the young, tender leaves that are hand-plucked during the harvest, ensuring a superior taste and aroma. The "Golden" notes refer to the light, golden tips that give the tea its characteristic sweet, aromatic flavor. This FTGFOP grade ensures a tea of exceptional complexity, smoothness, and richness, with a mellow astringency and subtle hints of muscatel.

The processing of Darjeeling Thurbo follows traditional methods. After plucking, the leaves are carefully withered, rolled, oxidized, and dried to bring out the full character of the tea. This careful attention to detail results in a clean, crisp cup with a bright finish—a true reflection of the distinctive Darjeeling terroir.

This premium black tea is often called the "Champagne of teas" due to its unique flavor profile and the special care given to its cultivation and processing.
