Your purchase will support Steepster.

Through the decades one could count on the Goomtee factory to consistently turn out dynamite classic First Flush Darjeelings. It was inherent in the way the gardens and factory were managed, as well as, nurtured. This First Flush export grade muscatel is no exception. It is among the best of the muscatels, a Darjeeling standard that should have a place of honor in every pantry.

Gomtee Tea Estate is a beautiful garden located between Jungpana to the East and Castleton to the West with a glorious past consisting of multiple owners. Henry Lennox, a British pioneer, was the first to start planting teas in this garden back in 1899. Darjeeling Tea from Goomtee, is processed in the traditional “Orthodox” way – breed and harvested at an altitude of over 4500 ft combined with excellent harvesting methods, this has ensured quality of pure china tea leaf. These distinguished teas are often sold marketed as Muscatel Valley teas.
