Top quality 2nd flush Darjeeling with a very even, fine tippy leaf and a brisk flavorful cup. Although "Castleton" tea garden was named such because of a building in Kurseong (a sub-division of Darjeeling) that resembled a castle, now "Castleton" is synonymous to quality Darjeeling tea. The quality of this tea is exactly what one would expect from a "Castleton".
Brewing Instructions: :
1 tsp, 2-3 min, 100 °C

After Dr. Campbell planted the first tea bushes at Beechwood in 1847 and established the first economically viable tea gardens in 1852 – Tukvar, Steinthal and Aloobari – the number of tea gardens continued to grow until there were no less than 113 of them by the year 1874. Today, during the high season and depending on the weather, up to 65,000 workers produce an average of 10 – 11 million kilos of Darjeeling tea from 86 tea gardens in an area of approximately 19,000 hectares.
