Description

Giddapahar Clonal Delight 2nd Flush | 100 Grams

Giddapahar Clonal Delight 2nd Flush is a highly sought-after, premium summer-harvest black tea produced by the historic Giddapahar Tea Estate in Kurseong, Darjeeling. Crafted predominantly from select AV2 clonal cultivars, this second flush tea is celebrated by connoisseurs for its rich flavor profile and exquisite aromatics.

• The Estate: Established in 1888, Giddapahar sits at an altitude of 4,500 feet. It is a family-owned estate known for processing small, meticulously crafted batches.
• The Cultivar: While traditional Darjeeling utilizes old Chinary bushes, the “Clonal Delight” leverages AV2 clonal variants. This specific clone is prized for yielding intense floral, fruity, and highly aromatic profiles.
• Harvest Window: Second flush teas are hand-plucked during the peak summer months (typically June). The intense summer sun and mature leaves combine to yield a deep, full-bodied cup.

• Dry Leaf: Features well-twisted, attractive leaves with a slightly lighter, multi-colored presentation, reflecting prominent grayish-yellow and silvery clonal tips
• Liquor: Pours a brilliant, warm amber to strong orange-yellow liquor.
• Tasting Notes: Offers a vibrant fusion of smooth muscatel grape notes, warm honey, and distinct vanilla undertones. It finishes with a rounded, velvety sweetness on the palate.
