Nurbong Second Flush

Tea Farm

Nurbong Tea Estate

The Nurbong Tea Estate is one of Darjeeling’s historic tea gardens and is located in the Kurseong region on the southern foothills of the Himalayas. Founded around 1870, the estate has a long history of orthodox tea cultivation and is therefore considered one of the classic estates of the region. It remains family-owned to this day.

The tea fields are naturally situated between two large mountain forests, the Sukna and Mohanadi forests, and extend across mid to higher elevations (1,200 metres and above). They benefit from mineral-rich soils, a cool, mist-laden mountain climate, and a reliable water supply from natural mountain springs such as the nearby Panchai River. The organically-certified estate is known for its meticulous garden management and traditional orthodox processing.

Nurbong Second Flush

Character

Tasting Notes

Second flush Darjeelings are generally less floral and less "fresh" in character than the first flush teas harvested in March and April. Instead, they are distinguished by a more pronounced malty profile, greater body and fullness, and a more noticeable astringency.

This particular Second Flush is an ideal introduction to the style. Alongside the characteristic malty base, it reveals a delicate, aromatic smokiness as well as hints of fresh sourdough. On the palate, the tea is well-balanced, with a subtle bitterness and a restrained sweetness.

Recommended for lovers of classic second flush Darjeelings, for those new to this style, and for anyone who generally prefers robust black teas.

Black Tea

Black tea is the most oxidised form of tea. In contrast to green tea, oxidation is not halted after harvesting and withering by applying heat. Instead, it is intensified through vigorous rolling, which breaks down the leaf cell walls and releases the enzymes essential to the oxidation process. As a result, the leaves transform from green to deep black, developing a particularly full-bodied character and a complex aromatic profile. In the cup, black tea often displays a vibrant orange to red hue, reflected in its Chinese name “Hong Cha”, meaning “red tea”.

Cultivation & Processing

Special features in location, cultivation & processing

Second flush Darjeelings differ in several key respects from those of the first harvest. While first flush teas are processed particularly gently and quickly, the leaves of the summer harvest (second flush) undergo a more intensive and prolonged treatment. The aim of this differing approach is to highlight the fresh, floral notes in first flush teas, whereas in second flush teas, fuller-bodied, fruity and malty aromas are developed through more extensive oxidation. As with all high-quality teas, production methods have gradually evolved over the ages to suit the specific characteristics of the harvest. The special quality of Darjeeling’s summer harvest lies above all in its depth of flavour, which is significantly enhanced by longer oxidation.

Nurbong Second Flush

For this Nurbong Second Flush, the tea leaves are carefully hand-plucked in the mornings in June and then sorted. After harvesting, the moisture content of the leaves is slowly reduced during a strictly controlled, natural withering process. The leaves are then rolled and oxidised. Finally, the tea is fully dried in an oven using hot air.

Single Origin

This tea comes 100% from the Nurbong Estate, directly sourced.
