Enlarge Photo Liquor & Infused Leaves   Post n View Review	THURBO (CH) SPL [CHINA SPECIAL] - 2006 Owned by the Goodricke Group of Companies, Thurbo Tea Garden is known for its quality production of Darjeeling Teas. The name of the garden owes its origin to a historic event when the British set up their camp at the estate to invade Nepal. The word 'Camp' is referred to as "Tombu" in Nepali language and this particular Nepalese word may have developed into 'Thurbo' later. A 'value for money' second flush tea from Thurbo. Its amazing to know why the tea garden sold us the tea for such a low price. Maybe due to their mass production which made them overlook this particular tea. Thurbo produces very good clonal teas, particularly the famous one is 'Tippy Clonal', but this second flush tea being a china grade is greatly under-rated according to its beautiful character both as a leaf and in the cup. Full bodied with excellent muscatel notes encircle it's character. Has a marvelous fruity and nutty aftertaste. Your best bet if you are looking for a quality tea at a fair budget. - US$ 5.98 - US$ 4.19 SOLD OUT!!

It has always produced quality First Flush, Second Flush and Autumn Darjeeling teas and there is no doubt about it. This oolong is rare and available in very limited quantity. Have you heard of Thurbo Oolong tea ever? Well here you are, savour the rare! An exceptional grade which is rarely produced by the garden - we got our hands on some of it. Although the garden didn't want to sell because of the new style for Darjeeling tea, we requested and requested and finally succeeded. The dry leaf is full size like the white tea. The dry leaf attributes to lemony notes mixed with camellia fragrance. As soon as the liqor is sipped, it lends a very sweet character. The other taste the liqor imparts is slightly orangy. Has got a mild astringent cup. If you have been having other oolongs, this one will definitely create a class of its own. Try and find the difference yourself. - US$ 9.95 SOLD OUT!!
