Crafted from the prized P 312 cultivar, Turzum EX-52 Moon Drop is a finely hand-sorted clonal tea manufactured with precision and restraint. Plucked on 10.06.2026 and made on 11.06.2026, the leaves underwent 16 hours of withering at 60%, followed by 2 hours 30 minutes of oxidation and careful drying at 240°F for 24 minutes.

Selective fine hand-plucking of tender P 312 clonal shoots, carried out on 10.06.2026 to preserve the cultivar’s delicate aroma and refined clonal character.
Today, it forms part of the combined Sungma–Turzum Tea Estate, created after a devastating 1934 earthquake destroyed the Sungma factory, leading to the consolidation of both gardens into a single production unit.
Situated at elevations ranging roughly from 1100 to 1700 meters, the estate benefits from a cool, misty Himalayan climate, rich rainfall, and fertile soil—conditions ideal for producing high-quality Darjeeling teas with distinctive aroma and flavor.
Managed by the Jayshree Tea & Industries group, Turzum is known for its premium organic black, green, oolong, and specialty clonal teas, consistently appreciated by tea connoisseurs worldwide.
The garden combines heritage, altitude, and terroir, resulting in teas that are bright, aromatic, and characteristically elegant—true to the finest traditions of Darjeeling.
