About This Tea
The tea gardens of the estate have biodiversity and rich soil structures that nourish bold and aromatic teas. Some vintages have rich muscatel and ripeness, and others exude a characteristic minty and spicy note found in their second flush lots.
Legend remarks that a monk named Pasang found abundant water springs and tea in Pussimbing. In the local Lepcha language, Pussimbing means "the source of water." The place where the monk discovered the spring on Pussimbing was called Mingoo (“valley hidden in the fog”). Nowadays, Mingoo is one of the famous garden divisions on the Pussimbing Estate.
The tea gardens of Pussimbing Estate are located in the Tiger Hill region of Darjeeling which has a panoramic view of Mount Everest and Mount Kanchenjunga. The high mountain energy and character shine in this tea.

Thought second flush would have a stronger taste. Even after adding more leaves felt tea wasn’t has flavorful as we would have liked.

I didn’t think a second flush would be as good, but I was very wrong! This tea is delightful and very enjoyable to drink!

I was expecting a better grade of tea leaf, tips rather than broken leaves, so, though this particular Darjeerling is quite drinkable, it is not exceptional. I realize it must be exceedingly difficult to source top-tier grade for the U.S. market and my expectations too high.
