The Story of Jungpana Tea Estate

Story

Nestled in the rugged beauty of Kurseong Valley, Jungpana tea estate is steeped in history and legend. Its name honors Jung Bahadur, a loyal Gurkha who, in the early 20th century, defended his British master against a leopard and took his final sip from a nearby stream, forever immortalizing the spot as 'Jungpana.'

Founded in 1899 by Mr. Henry Montgomery Lennox, the estate flourished under various custodians, including the ruling Rana of Nepal. Perched at 4,500 feet, its sun-kissed, south-facing slopes nurture tea bushes that yield some of Darjeeling's most exquisite flavors. Accessible only by a wooden bridge and over 600 steps, Jungpana is as challenging to reach as it is rewarding to taste.

Now managed by the Mayfair Group, Jungpana remains a beacon of excellence, producing sought-after muscatels and carrying forward Darjeeling's rich tea heritage. Surrounded by iconic estates like Goomtee, Sivitar, and Mahaldiram, Jungpana stands as a symbol of resilience and quality in the world of fine, Single Origin teas.

A medium-bodied, mellow cup that begins with the bright sweetness of tangerines, transitioning to tart-fruity notes that lend a distinct depth and layered texture to the liquor.

The flush starts once the monsoon has withdrawn from the misty hills of Darjeeling with the temperatures beginning to drop.

Generally, Autumnal teas are usually well-balanced, having no sharpness or astringency that is typical of first and second flush teas. It’s less floral and delicate than the Spring flush.

The very aroma of darjeeling tea is present in this variety. A morning cup of tea will please you.

Unique depth of taste in classic Autumn black tea

This particular brand of Jungpana classic black tea is really good with it's subtle aroma and depth of the Darjeeling black tea,it is quite refreshing, especially in the morning.

light and smooth

one of the light black teas which is smooth and round depth profile. slightly woody but less tannins feel.

a classic Darjeeling

This is a slightly different flavour profile than I am used to drinking but it is a welcome change. I have been drinking it in the morning but I am sure it would be fine any time of day.

Great tea for rainy days

Imagine yourself at home with a nice hot cup of tea when it is cold and raining outside: this is why Jungpana Autumn is for! Woody and smooth, it is not the most complex tea, but it will make you feel good. My personal taste: with a chocolat square.

Outstanding, rich and complex

Beautiful example of an Autumn flush Darjeeling. I like to brew this Gong Fu style, with multiple short steeps (about 30 seconds each) to bring out the different layers of flavour.
On the first brew there's a prominent chocolate aroma, with a sweet floral note that reminds me of carnations. Second brew brings a mouth-filling blast of finely textured tannins, along with some earthiness. On the third and subsequent brews there's a hint of wintergreen, and a fruitiness like dried strawberries. Very complex!

Excellent tea

This is a very good, fresh, subtle tea, certainly one of the more satisfying that I have tried.
