Thurbo Darjeeling 2nd Flush – Rich Muscatel Darjeeling Black TeaThis exceptional Thurbo Darjeeling Second Flush was grown and produced at the fine Thurbo Tea Estate, known for producing some of the best Darjeeling teas in the region. It was harvested at the peak of this year's second-flush season, when Darjeeling teas develop their fullest body and most celebrated muscatel character. These dark, tippy, pointed leaves carry aromatic notes of plum and vanilla, and their careful firing produces a particularly sweet, rich and smooth liquor with a complex flavor and aroma. Once steeped, the red-amber liquid is incredibly smooth, thick and soupy — everything you hope for in a premium second-flush Darjeeling. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItSecond-flush Darjeeling is prized for its fuller body and deeper, fruitier flavor compared to first flush, and Thurbo's is among the finest. This tea offers remarkable depth and sweetness with a silky texture, making it an absolutely exceptional cup for Darjeeling lovers — we're proud to offer one of the best this season has to offer.
How to EnjoySavor it plain to appreciate its complex fruit and floral character, or add a small splash of milk if you prefer a creamier cup. It's perfect for afternoon tea and pairs beautifully with fruit tarts, scones and mild cheeses. Rich, sweet and wonderfully complex, Thurbo Darjeeling 2nd Flush is a must-try for any tea enthusiast. |

A little steeping tipA muscatel second flush. Enjoy it plain; a little milk is fine too.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
