Darjeeling Takdah Forest Whisper FF2026 - 50g

Darjeeling Takdah Forest Whisper FF2026 - 50g 

.

A fresh spring harvest from a garden in the Takdah region—the name Takdah is derived from the local language of the Lepcha ethnic group and means “Place of Tigers.” This area was likely once home to wild tigers, which is where its name comes from, as there is little information in historical records explaining why it was given this name.

The garden is located at an altitude of 800–1,900 meters, making this a high-mountain tea. Furthermore, it is a small garden jointly tended by 40 families in the area, so I am glad that we can further support them in this endeavor. These are truly just small batches of very high-quality teas.

This is a classic light-type First Flush, but a very nicely processed limited edition that you won’t find anywhere else.

The tea has a full-bodied, fresh, almost exotic flavor, combining fresh notes of mountain and forest flowers, with a subtle creamy undertone in the background and hints of banana and exotic fruit.

Another fine tea from Takdah.
