Darjeeling Turzum Flowery Clonal Black Tea 2026

A refined expression of Turzum’s spring craftsmanship, this DJ-09 FTGFOP1 Clonal is made from the distinguished T78 cultivar, plucked on 7th April 2026 and manufactured the following day under the careful stewardship of Master Planter Mr. Abhishek Dev. Produced with a measured 60% wither over 14 hours, a brief and delicate fermentation window of 10 minutes including rolling, and a controlled drying run at 240°F for 22 minutes, this tea has been shaped to preserve its natural floral grace, freshness, and clonal finesse.

The dry leaf is a visual delight — nicely rolled, evenly sized, greenish in appearance, and ornamented with elegant silvery tips, reflecting both careful handling and precise hand sorting. In the cup, it opens into a light lemonish liquor, bright and luminous, carrying a poised floral character that is gentle yet unmistakably expressive. The infusion is greenish, bright, and even, releasing a fresh floral nose that lingers with quiet sophistication.

Graceful, delicate, and finely balanced, this Turzum clonal tea captures the charm of an early-season Darjeeling cup — floral, clean, radiant, and refined, with a soft lemon-toned brightness and a naturally elegant finish.
