2025 "Moonshine" First Flush Darjeeling from Upper Namring Estate
This "Moonshine" First Flush Darjeeling tea from Upper Namring Estate is sweet and expansive with a light fruitiness. The aromatics on the leaves are delightful and intriguing, with high pitched florals taking the lead and a bit of baked sugar sweetness in the nose. The liquor has light kumquat syrup aromatics with notes reminiscent of grape candy and spring meadows.
The tea comes from Upper Namring Estate, one of India's oldest and largest tea gardens established in 1855. Situated at elevations reaching up to 1700 meters in the Darjeeling hills, the high altitude creates cooler temperatures that concentrate flavors in the leaves. The estate cultivates a blend of China, Assam hybrids, and clonal tea bushes across its three divisions.
2025 early spring harvest, hand-picked.
