SKU: T/Summer Starlit Night/Ex56/26
Beneath the tranquil Himalayan sky, where cool mountain breezes meet the warmth of the summer sun, the celebrated Turzum Tea Estate yields a harvest of extraordinary character. Our Turzum Summer Starlit Night Black Tea – Second Flush is a masterpiece born during Darjeeling's prized second flush, when the tea bushes produce leaves of remarkable depth, richness, and the estate's signature muscatel elegance.
Handpicked at the peak of the season, only the finest two leaves and a bud are carefully selected to create a tea that is both vibrant and refined. The expertly crafted leaves unfurl into a luminous copper-amber infusion, revealing an enchanting bouquet of ripe stone fruits, wild honey, sun-kissed grapes, and delicate floral notes, layered with whispers of toasted nuts and warm spice.
The first sip unveils the unmistakable muscatel character that has made Darjeeling teas legendary—a luxurious harmony of sweet fruitiness, mellow malt, and gentle floral nuances. Its velvety body glides effortlessly across the palate, while subtle hints of caramelized sugar, cocoa, and fresh mountain wood lend remarkable complexity. The finish is long, smooth, and elegantly lingering, leaving behind a refined sweetness that invites another indulgent cup.
Harvested during Darjeeling's celebrated Second Flush, Turzum Summer Starlit Night delights with its signature muscatel character, floral bouquet, and luxurious, lingering finish—an elegant expression of Himalayan tea craftsmanship.

Spread over evenly gradual slopes facing the the mesmerising Mirik valley, Sungma and Turzum is one of the most beautiful tea estate in Darjeeling. The Tea Estate is located in the Rung Bong valley famous for growing exclusive quality tea. The climate is cool and misty with temperature ranging from 3 degree in winter to 28 degree in summer and an annual rainfall of 2500 to 3000 mm during July to September. The garden is around 30 kms from the Darjeeling town and is connected by excellent road network.
The garden was established by British Planter in 1863 – 1868 with excellent quality of chinaries seed stock by random assortment. The present tea estate is combination of two estates namely Sungma and Turzum. Both the gardens were merged after a massive earthquake in 1934 destroyed the Sungma tea factory and the entire tea manufacturing operations were shifted to Turzum tea estate. The estate was taken over by Jayshree Tea in 1993 and with continuous investment in tea growing, successful replanting programme, employee welfare and tea manufacturing infrastructure, the garden has seen remarkable achievement in terms of quality improvements leading to increase in the unit price for its teas.
