A refined, high-grown Second Flush Darjeeling from Subarna Co-Operative, a group of just over 100 small (av. 1 acre) family farms not far from Kalimpong town in the east of Darjeeling. The tea is grown on these small farms, all of which practise polyculture, and then processed nearby at the factory of Samabeong Estate. This particular batch is made in a modern style with large, almost intact leaves made from AV2 clonal cultivars.
Sweeter and more delicate than many other Second Flush Darjeelings, the tea has a refreshing muscatel aroma and an incredibly clean, floral taste which reminds us of orange blossom. Just 40kg of this invoice was made this year.

I keep coming back to this tea and each time before I start I forget that the scent of the dry leaf always gets me interested! Before it’s heated the muscatel scent is quite strong, once heated quite a malty/nutty aroma joins the muscatel which invites me in for the tea ahead (it helps that it’s a beautiful looking tea as well).
The soup is clean, crisp and with a purity that I seem to find in the offerings of Postcard Teas. The initial taste to me has a mineral/muscatel focus with a hint of maltyness, which later gives way to more floral notes. I used to mostly stick to first flush Darjeeling but teas like this make me realise I should give a bit more time to second flushes as well.
Flavors: Fruity, Malt, Mineral, Muscatel, Nutty
