Castleton Estate (2nd Flush) |
||
| Kurseong,
in Darjeeling, is a quiet, unassuming town, much loved by the solitude
seeker. On the Darjeeling Toy Train route, this charming
little town is affectionately called Land of the White Orchid. And among
the lush tea plantations that lie across these hills is the Castleton Tea
Estate.With a planted area of
over 170 hectars, Castleton produces 30,545 kgs of tea. As one of the top
producers in Darjeeling, Castleton recently surpassed its own previous
world records by fetching Rs. 15,000 (around US $360) per kg. (2.2 lbs.). Considered the most prestigious of all black teas, this second flush Darjeeling from Castleton produces a much more complex cup than its first flush varieties. With a bright liquor, full rounded flavour, and the distinctive "Muscatel" character, this is sure to become one of your favorite Darjeelings. |
