2 Tasting Notes View all

“5g / 400ml ceramic pot. 4m @ 90C Light but flavourful. Very like a first flush. Slightly sweeter with perhaps a bit of citrus? Decent but lacks the oomph i want in a second flush.” Read full tasting note

Description

We like Thurbo teas and particularly there clonals. They never disappoint us and neither did this one. This is a good all day long second flush tea which is sweet and fresh. The brewed leaves smell of lily and lotus and the dry leaves reminds us of dark chocolate.

Thurbo is a very famous name when it comes to Darjeeling Teas. It’s indigenous clonal teas have unique character, this combined with others ‘jats’ like P316 & AV2 grow matchless autumnal teas. The teas imbue a rare and delicate fragrance. Its China is bright and full of flavour and Assam hybrids taste sweet.
