Balasun estate is located near the hamlet Sonada in the hills of Darjeeling and it is named after the river that flows at the bottom of the garden.
This 2nd Flush gives a complex blend of flavours, fruity and floral, with a beautiful aroma.
Darjeeling tea is renowned for its excellence and often displays muscatel flavours and floral aromas. Darjeeling lies to the northeast of India, among the Himalayas, in the state of West Bengal. Every morning, as the mist rises from the mountains, tea pluckers make their way up the steep mountain paths toward the 87 gardens that have been producing the black teas of Darjeeling. The gardens are in fact plantations that, at times, stretch over hundreds of acres. But, they are still ‘gardens', because all tea grown here carries the name of the estate, or garden, in which it is grown.
Tea Grade: TGFOP
This is FOP but with 'golden tips' which are the very ends of the golden yellow buds. The 2nd flush denotes the growing season in Darjeeling which runs from June to Mid-August.
