Darjelling Turzum Basant Moonlight Black Tea 2026

Crafted at Turzum Tea Estate under the supervision of Master Planter Mr. Abhishek Dev, EX-11 Basant Moonlight is a refined First Flush Darjeeling tea made from the prized AV2 cultivar. Plucked on 26.03.2026 and produced on 27.03.2026, the tea underwent a careful 14-hour wither at 62%, followed by minimal fermentation of 10 minutes including rolling. It was dried at 240°F for 20 minutes and hand sorted to retain its delicate seasonal character. The dry leaf is long, loosely rolled, and greenish in appearance, highlighted by chunky silvery tips. The cup reveals a light lemonish liquor with excellent brightness, carrying a beautiful floral flavour that reflects the elegance of Turzum’s spring harvest. The infusion is greenish-bright and even, with a soft, delicate floral note that completes its graceful First Flush profile.
