Tukvar Estate Darjeeling (2nd flush)
Planted in 1852, the Tukvar Estate (now known as Puttabong) is the first tea estate in the history of Darjeeling. Just 9 kilometers northeast of Darjeeling City, it reaches an altitude of 6,500 feet at its highest point and covers over 22 kilometers. Tukvar takes great pride in creating exquisite Darjeeling teas and in 1992, Tukvar commanded the highest price ever paid at auction for its tea. The Tukvar Estate is also socially responsible. With over 3,000 people living and working on their estate, they ensure their workers are provided with housing, schools, medical and dental facilities.

This classic Darjeeling produces a clear, brisk cup with an exquisite bouquet with its distinctive "Muscatel" character. The second flush plucking (end of May through June) produces a more fully developed tea than first flush (March through April). To be enjoyed all day, every day.
To Prepare
Tukvar Darjeeling (2nd Flush) is best when brewed with spring water at a temperature of 210° for 3 to 4 minutes. We recommend one teaspoon for every 8 ounces. Enjoy this tea through 2 infusions.
