Turzum Enigma 2025 Darjeeling Tea – 12 kg Exclusive Second Flush

Turzum Enigma Tea 2025 Second Flush

Perched high on the mist-kissed slopes of Pokhriabong in Darjeeling, the Turzum Tea Estate has long been revered for producing some of the finest clonal teas in the region. Under the passionate stewardship of Mr. Jha, the estate flourished, focusing on quality over quantity. The high-altitude terrain slows the plant’s growth, allowing the leaves to develop complex flavors and aromas that set them apart from lower-grown teas.

This year, the estate presents the Turzum Enigma 2025 – Second Flush, a Limited Reserve tea with only  12 kilograms (split into 3 boxes of 4 kgs each) ever produced. Every leaf is an example to excellence – expertly hand-picked and crafted using traditional yet precise techniques that elevate it far beyond the ordinary.

Only a handful of producers gain access to such top-tier lots, and we’re proud to offer the best of the best from Turzum. Want to compare? Try this tea from other sources and then return to us—our “top pick” reputation wasn’t earned overnight. It’s taken over 26 years of experience and curation, and we’ve learned one thing: not every invoice of tea labeled “Enigma” carries the same magic. This one, however, absolutely does.

The dry leaves of Turzum Enigma tea 2025 are a sight to behold – wiry and elegantly twisted, showcasing the care taken at every step of processing. Their appearance is rich in character: deep chocolate browns mingled with flecks of gold and silver tips, a hallmark of high-quality clonal Darjeeling teas.

A gentle shimmer graces the leaves, thanks to the presence of fine, silken hairs – a clear indicator of tender, carefully plucked shoots. But what truly sets this tea apart is its fragrance: an intoxicating medley of chocolatey depth, sweet honey, and a lively twist of ripe apples and zesty orange peel. Beneath this fruity sweetness lies a warm undertone of roasted nuts, adding yet another layer of sensory delight.

In every aspect, from its appearance to its aroma, the dry leaf tells a story of masterful tea artistry from the Himalayas.

Once steeped, the transformation is mesmerizing. The infused leaves of Turzum Enigma tea unfurl into luminous shades of copper and bronze – classic hues that echo the signature of a high-grade Darjeeling Second Flush. Needle-like buds glisten among the leaves, further emphasizing the tea’s premium grade.

The aroma of the wet leaves is both sweet and savory. The dominant honeyed tone leads the way, layered with fruity bursts that recall ripe summer stone fruits and red apples. A subtle nuttiness, reminiscent of toasted almonds, emerges gently in the background, adding depth to an already multi-dimensional infusion.

This stage of the tea’s journey is where sight, smell, and anticipation come together in perfect harmony.

The brewed cup of Turzum Enigma Second Flush 2025 tea glows with a rich, ruby-red, amber hue – an unmistakable sign of a well-made Darjeeling muscatel tea. The liquor is bright, clean and full-bodied, with a smooth yet brisk texture that invigorates the palate.

Expect a dance of fruity undertones – hints of oranges, ripe apples and even a whisk of plum – intertwined with the trademark muscatel note that Darjeeling Second Flush teas are globally celebrated for. There’s a mild astringency that perfectly balances the sweetness, leaving a long-lasting, satisfying finish.

Every sip is like sipping the essence of a Himalayan summer – refreshing, refined and deeply satisfying.
