Darjeeling Second Flush Goomtee

One of the oldest and most respected gardens in Darjeeling. Goomtee is derived from the Nepalese word for ‘Turning Point’. Their teas consistently fetch the highest prices at auction because of their finesse. The fine flavour of this tea with its full bodied infusion, strong  fragrant aroma and lingering fruity flavour is due to a combination of factors. The ‘Clonal’ type bushes planted on the mountain slopes between 3000 and 6000 feet. The temperatures are cool to moderate and rainfall is generous, making this garden ideally situated for production of quality tea. These conditions, combined with alternating mist and sunshine help produce the slow growing conditions, which are so necessary for natural quality development in the leaf.
