2011 First Flush Darjeeling Marybong Estate

Black Tea by Rishi Tea

Our 2011 First Flush Darjeeling from Marybong Estate has a bright, lively, slightly astringent and succulent pit fruit flavor. As you drink this tea notice its complex aroma of peaches, dried apricot, and tropical flowers.

Marybong Estate has an elevation of 3000-6000 feet above sea level with unparalleled views of the entire Kanchenjunga range. Here, pine forests rise straight to the sky as if inspired by the Kanchenjunga, the world’s 3rd highest peak and the most dominant mountain in these parts of the Himalayas.

The teas coming from this estate are exquisite in flavor and present complex floral notes with hints of pit fruit combined with a brisk astringency.
