The Story of Jungpana Tea Estate

Story

Nestled amidst the picturesque hills of the Kurseong Valley at an average elevation of approximately 4,500 feet above sea level, the Jungpana tea estate exudes a near-mythical allure due to its remote and secluded location.

Established by British planter Henry Montgomery Lennox in 1899, the estate sprawls across the south-facing slopes of the hill. The spring harvest at Jungpana has always been a highly anticipated event, and this season is no exception.

Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma

Marked by notes of white orchids, cantaloupe with light green and citrusy accents.

Appearance

Light Gold

Taste

A light-bodied, pleasantly supple cup which starts with a soft floral texture akin to white orchids and gradually evolves to reveal enchanting notes of cantaloupe towards the middle, rendering a vivacious intensity to the liquor.

Subtle spring-green accents shore up along the edges which however ebb to finish on rejuvenating citrusy flavors, making for a memorable experience of spring black from this celebrated tea plantation.

YOU ASKED WE ANSWERED

What do you mean by the term 'Clonal' ?

The nomenclature 'Clonal' is used to refer to a specific variety of tea bush used for tea cultivation.

It signifies that the tea bushes from which the leaves are plucked are cultivated from selected clones. These clones are carefully chosen based on desirable traits such as flavor, aroma, and appearance.

The use of clonal propagation allows tea growers to maintain consistency in the characteristics of the tea, resulting in a more controlled and distinct flavor profile.

How does the flavor of Spring Clonal Black teas differ from Chinary varieties?

The flavor distinctions between Spring Clonal and Chinary varieties are marked by their respective characteristics.

Spring Clonal Black teas, cultivated from specific clonal bushes, showcase a harmonious interplay of floral & fruity notes, delivering a consistently refined and nuanced taste.

In contrast, Chinary varieties, derived from seed-grown plants, offer a broader flavor spectrum influenced by factors like soil composition and climate.

Chinary Black teas can exhibit a diverse interplay of vegetal, fruity, earthy and soft nutty tones, providing a distinctive tasting experience. While Spring Clonal teas boast a more predictable and delicately balanced flavor profile, Chinary varieties appeal to those seeking a wider range of taste sensations shaped by the natural genetic diversity within the plant species and the unique terroir of their cultivation.

How to preserve the freshness of the tea?

1. To preserve the freshness and flavor of any tea, it is advisable to store them in an airtight container, shielding them from exposure to air.
2. Choose a cool, dark location away from direct sunlight, as light and heat can compromise the tea's quality.
3. Store the tea away from strong odors to prevent the absorption of unwanted flavors.

Will this tea appeal to those new to the world of Darjeeling teas?

Yes, this tea can be an excellent introduction to the world of Darjeeling teas.

Its well-balanced and nuanced flavor profile, often featuring an underlying sweetness, floral undertones, and fruity notes, provides a delightful and approachable tea-drinking experience.

Does this tea contain caffeine ?

Yes, like most black teas, these clonal black teas contain a moderate amount of caffeine.

It provides a natural energy boost, making it a suitable choice for those seeking a morning or midday pick-me-up.

Fresh flowery fragrance and the lightness!

Absolutely fab tea

Definitely one of the very best teas I have ever tasted - must have been grown in heaven!

Fresh and dynamic

I can't overstate how Teabox has enhanced my tea drinking experience by giving me the opportunity to drink an excellent first flush only days after it's picked. The Jungpana is an exemplary first flush with subtle hints of tangerine, honey and melon backed up by that distinct fresh grass foundation that is really spring in a cup. Your curation of the best of the best is always spot on.

Great tea, good price, incredibly quick shipping.

It's a great tea, at a very good price. The service was swift and smooth--I got the package faster than something I ordered the same day that was merely coming from a different state!!

Outstanding

Just loved it...

Beautiful, High Class Tea

Jungpana sets the Gold Standard yet again with this one. This tea is delicate and complex mix of notes and flavors. The real specialty is how the vegetal notes of a typical Green tea are sporadically shadowed by complex floral flavors. Gentle yet full bodied, with a classy aftertaste. Having tried Jungpana first flush, which I found too mild and leaving you with a want for more lasting impact, this one is close to Oolong, yet nothing conventional about it. Its a must have in your collection.
Thank you Teabox for getting us this unique produce of the season!!

Smoth and fruity

A very smoth, fruity and refreshing tea.
The aroma is excellent but ab bit subtle. I use a little bit more than normal.
Great tea to drink cold or chilled!

Fresh and floral

A great example of first flush Darjeeling. Spicy floral aroma like wild roses. Light bodied and extremely fresh tasting. I wouldn't call this a "black" tea, there is maybe 10% oxidation at most. Try it cold-brewed overnight in the refrigerator for something different.

Very fresh

I realy like this tea. It has nice fruity flavor, it's fresh and you can drink it anytime. I add little sugarand lemon and it's pefect to drink.

Very fresh-tasting

A fresh, mild, clean flavored brew with a lovely pale golden hue. The dry leaves have a nice springlike aroma, too. A pleasant surprise with this tea: after I got distracted and left it steeping for far too long, it hadn't become undrinkably bitter as some other first-flush Darjeelings do! One of the better first flush offerings.
