Castleton Second Flush Darjeeling Stockists

The Castleton Estate in Darjeeling's Kurseong South Valley is among the world's most celebrated tea gardens, famed for its superb Second Flush variety.The combination of altitudes between 1000 and 2300m and the high proportion of original China tea bushes creates a far superior a Second Flush far superior to most other estates in Darjeeling. While First Flush Darjeelings picked between March and May are famed for their sparkling taste and clarity of cup, the Castleton Second Flush has a greater complexity with the strong fruity notes of a more mature leaf. As well as the famous Darjeeling muscatel - a taste we'd compare to sweet white grapes with a warm hint of spice - you'll also pick up smooth notes of peach and even a slight nuttiness in the first sip.If you ever have a chance to visit the Darjeeling, make sure you take the rattling Toy Train up to Kurseong and hop on the bus to Castleton. An architectural folly on the hill has the appearance of a castle, and the different sections of the gardens have names rather than the usual numbers. There's Bhalu Khop (bear cave), Jim Basha (a man's house is his castle), Dhobitar (washerman's clothes line) and Baseri (resting place). One tip - bring waterproofs.
