Castleton (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.
