We are proud to share this exclusive green Darjeeling tea with you from the Sourenee Tea Estate in India.
FTGFOP1 (Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe)
What it is?
An early second flush of roasted green tea.
Why we love it
Due to the altitudes, tricky growing conditions and limited space, the Darjeeling district only produces 1% of India's tea, at just 8,000 tonnes each year. This makes our Sourenee extremely rare, as it’s one of only a few estates able to produce a green Darjeeling tea.
Where it’s from
The Sourenee Tea Estate, Mirik Valley, India. The estate has an elevation of 700-1300m above sea level. The soil in that region is a stiff red loam with clay.
How our drink hits the senses
These leaves never cease to give out such scrumptious scents. A real unique green tea that oozes quality.
The taste journey
Grassy notes, overlaid with soft fruits and a deep grapey aroma. The well twisted green leaf provides an earthy undertone.
