Nurbong, Organic Darjeeling Black Tea, First Flush 2026

We are excited to welcome Nurbong Tea Estate, a new organic tea garden from Darjeeling, into the Happy Earth Tea family. Nurbong is located in the Kurseong region along the southern slopes of the Darjeeling Himalayas, bordered by the lush forests of the Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, where elephants still roam freely through the landscape below. This 2026 first flush beautifully reflects the vibrant mountain environment from which it comes. The wiry, tippy leaves offer a striking aromatic profile — fresh, green, and gently peppery — recalling the brisk vitality of early Himalayan spring. In the cup, the liquor glows a light golden hue. The flavor is smooth and lightly creamy, offering a fresh natural sweetness layered with delicate wildflower nuances, subtle stone-fruit notes, and a clean, lingering finish.
